Have I got it wrong or is Jade of mixed race, surely she cannot be racist? I do however think she has been a bit cruel though

I'm sorry OP but you are extremely naive
Disclaimer: Everything I say is alleged
Correct and isn't the current most racist regime that of Mugabe lead Zimbabwe?
What has the fact that she's mixed-race got to do with her views on other races/nationalities?
Don't forget, she is the product not only of her father, but also of her mother (and we all know only too well the views of her mother). Furthermore, she belongs to a section of our society, a sub-culture, that is bound by ignorance, self-importance and intolerance.
Lastly, mixed-race she may be, but half Indian she is not.
I am fed up of this naivety! :rolleyes:
Given her views though it raises interesting questions about Jades mother does it not?
Black people can be racist about indian people numbnuts... :rolleyes:
In the same way that chinese people can be racist about Japanese... :rolleyes:
Is this Jakie Goody online?
To complicate this matter further, there are some who are racist towards people of their own race, e.g. a white young man is hostile to 'white' people, preferring to hang out with black people; or in a way, a Japanese-Korean against a Japanese person.
Just out of curiosity, how old are you?
If you think racism is only about colour I suggest you do a bit of research about the attempted genocide in Rwanda before digging yourself a deeper hole.
She has forgotten her genes
Sorry - are you living in Britain 2007? Racism is about discriminating against someone because of their racial background not their colour.
So it is quite possible for someone from Pakistan to be 'racist' towards someone from India even though they share the same skin colour and indeed in my experience often happens.
It is a common misconception in the UK that racism is a issue only for 'white' people 'against' 'black' people. My husband is Asian and he feels demeaned by being described as black because he sees himself as brown. Meanwhile my daughter has been bullied at school by other Asian classmates as being not 'Islamic' / true to her Asian roots.
Any race / racial mix can be racist towards another!
Unbelievable. Please educate yourself in these matters. I'm not attacking you but this sounds like something Jade would say and that's scary :eek:
I don't believe it is her colour that is the problem, at the end of the day she is of a different class, this is where the problem lies.
Jade is not the brightest button in the box, Shilpa is clever and articulate. Jade is not the prettiest girl on the planet, Shilpa is attractive. Its not difficult to work out what the problem is. All this talk of bullying and racism is a load of twaddle, it pure and simple jealousy.
