I do think it is important that BB deals with things clearly and equally.
Anyone of any race can be racist - race does not mean colour, it means race - An Englishman can hate a Welshman and they are both white.
Last year in CBB, Jermain Jackson called Jade and Jackie 'white trash' - How can that be allowed!?
If the victim is white it can't be racist???
Makes no sense to me, but that's the message BB are consistently sending out.
I wan't to make it clear what I meant earlier about Grace and Aisleyne.
Last summer in BB7 Aisleyne came into the house (in a box). She was a white girl who had grown up in an area of London similar to me. People both in the house and out refferd to her as a 'wannabe' blackgirl, suggesting she wasn't proud to be white.... that's rubbish!
What people failed to grasp is that when you grow up in that environment, in a mixing pot of race and culture you are what you are. You talk the same, dance the same - you live in a mixed culture where race isn't important.
To Aisleyne, saying batty instead of bum was normal - we all have different accents and ways of saying things don't we?........ depends on where you grow up, not what you look like!
but
whilst Grace, the nasty cow, was slagging Aisleyne off (again) to the rest of the group, she openly called her a Wigger. She went onto confirm what she meant so there was no confusion - but wasn't even questioned about it.
In BB rules, use of the Nword would have been punishable - but Aisleyne was white, so Grace swapped an N for a W and suddenly it means nothing?! Why not?! It still makes me sick!!
Last night on BBs Big Mouth someone said that there is no 'grey area' when it comes to using the Nword............... I'm not so sure.
What about when you mix black and white and the Nword becomes the Wword?
They mean the same thing to me....... clear as black and white.
But, that seems to be a very grey area for BB!
