I haven't seen a thread about this so apologies if somebody has already posted one.
I personally thought tat his attempts to tar Patsy with the brush of saying something racist worse than some of the other things in the episode.
To do that to someone I think is despicable.
I also think it says something else about the general mentality of some people in there in respect to what was going on with Ken.

I thought it was a quite significant moment on the show and that people would have had some thoughts about it?
He wants to win and he is going for the weakest - watch him systematically do that!
Its dangerous and totally out of order, no wonder Patsy was so worried about it, people don't have common sense these days.
It doesn't always work, it failed with the HMs with Katie and her husband incident, and it didn't really work with Patsy....but the pattern was the same.
If he hadn't piped up no one would have noticed.
It was certainly a faux pas.
It was a professionally offended loonie vs another professionally offended loonie, good, let them fight each other
It was a very weird conversation, Perez was in quickly looking to whip it up.
It must be genuinely upsetting for it to happen in everyday life.
But I imagine it would be even more so in an environment like that where your mind starts ticking over worrying if the public have picked up on what has been said and that there may be a shitstorm waiting outside for you like the Shilpa Shetty series. Which I think would be a natural way to think if you were in there with so little contact with the outside world.
Personally if BB are to take anything seriously I think that this sort of thing should be taken very seriously. Nadia isn't blameless either due to the games she's playing.
The point is that these two appear to have no qualms about how much they could potentially make someone suffer once they have left the show and are in the outside world.
I think that what Perez said to Patsy was at least as bad as what he said to Ken, if not more so.
This seems to sum it up perfectly. I would add that Perez is no expert on race relations in the US or anywhere else. Folks should look up his incident with Will. I.am in Toronto
He's a dangerous character - really very nasty indeed.
She definatley said that Alexander either said he would take her or that he had told her about Crenshaw., thats why she didn't understand where Perez was going.
Shiiiiit I wanna go Compton when I hear California Love by Tupac and Dre.
Patsy tried to explain to Perez, she said she had had a two hour conversation with Alexander who said he was from Crenshaw and would show her round, Perez was too busy shouting to listen but you can hear Michelle listening and repeating it and said words to the effect of don't worry there's nothing to worry about .
He successfully made himself look idiotic without even realizing it because his point of view would have gone over 99% of the viewing public's heads given it's a UK Show. Obviously he's your typical American who knows nothing about anything outside of America & thinks the world IS America & we all should know about their racist habits.
I'm swearing more in my head about all of what's being going on.
I'm so shocked by how a typically racist, sexist, everything-ist Perez has suddenly turned into an extreme Tumblr social justice warrior.
Patsy completely over reacted and melted
Yes. Plus we know from his conversation with Ken that if Alexander had an issue with it he would have explained why at the time. Plus "if you ever go to America" - she's been to America countless times. And he had to keep going on about it, he made his point and Michelle kind of backed him up - why couldn't it be left there?
Why do some people want the world to be like this?, it baffles me.
This.
