How do you not understand that nationality isn't race ?
The United Nations defines 'racial discrimination' thus;
"the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or [BOLD]national[/BOLD] or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.[25]
Racist, xenophobic... same difference. It's all tying a person's unchosen identity with a dislike of them. I know that's a little difficult for certain people to grasp, but it's the truth. Was Jade being racist or xenophobic to Shilpa?
I understand what everyone is saying. So teaching us doesn't need to be mentioned. The point is he didn't need to mention the word "french" into his argument.
It's like White Dee the white from her name has obviously been removed from her name because people will find it racist and her name is actually Dee.
I absolutely love his rants. I wanna have him stay over at my house for a few days. I'd just sit and laugh constantly. Queen Leslie - oh shit is that homophobic? ;-)

Nah. lovingg him too, but dont agree with Gary sleeping outside, nasty little man .:)
Xenophobic to be accurate. But then that can be as bad as racism.
Apparently people learnt the playschool lesson that it's wrong to hate someone on the basis of race, but weren't able make the connection that it might be equally bad to hate against other groups.

If Gary cant take part in these tasks he shouldn't be in big brother. I sympathise for the guy and his ailments but he can't use that as an excuse. This is big brother.
Sorry? On the preview Leslie said "You stinking French ****" to Frenchy
If he had said "You stinking African ****" to a African housemate. Big Brother would remove him surely?
Surely it is Racism or am I missing the point?
Well we know BB likes to tread a fine line & one day they will go too far! Of course he should be removed for that, especially given the aggressive way he said it! I am surprised the number of people who like this weasel given the anti aggression threads that have dominated these forums this summer!!

therefore, it IS racist.
Well they should give it a different name then because a nationality isn't a race.

Yeh, it's not as if he was expecting to sleep in the jungle and not in a warm comfy bed during his stay.

So true.

I have called plenty of people fat, by your logic i must be a racist.
The **** is the derogatory word, the French is descriptive and factual. It has elements of xenophobia at a push.

Leslie's comment was utterly vile but it was in no way racist.
