I never understand why people think it's acceptable to come out with such things when they're on a TV show? Do they not realise how offensive they are being?

She has a right to her own opinions, which are part of her culture - if we criticise her about it, it is offensive to her, and borderline racist. Watch it.

Well, i just feel sorry for poor Howard, reportedly massively offended and all.
![]() It may not be integral to the overall result, but as the BBC and the producers of the show seem to value entertainment rather highly this series, it may very well make the final edit. We shall wait and see. |

![]() She should know that this behaivour isnt acceptable in our society. How would she like it if somebody said they wouldnt let their kids near someone of her heritage? THAT would be racism - however, challenging her on her remarks isnt, is is perfectly justifiable. |

Poor Howard
She is entitled to her opinion, but didn't she realise how offensive her opinion would be to Howard and the viewers that will be watching at home? Oh dear, oh dear. I do think it will make the programme. The Apprentice thrives on a bit of controversy. Well done to Howard for keeping his cool

Did she know Howard was gaay at this point? I know a article game out a few weeks ago about him saying all contestants were fine about it etc...
I think she had her right, but agree with everyone else when she opted to live here where it's acceptable to be gay etc. |

.There are plenty of born and bread, white brits who 'should' know that sort of stuff isn't acceptable in 'our' society but go ahead and do it anyway. That is not necessarily a product of where she's from, how imbecilic |

Now that is more patronisingly xeonophobic and racist than anything she supposedly said
.There are plenty of born and bread, white brits who 'should' know that sort of stuff isn't acceptable in 'our' society but go ahead and do it anyway. That is not necessarily a product of where she's from, how imbecilic I didnt claim that it was a product of where she is from - I was responding to somebody who claimed that it was part of her culture. If I have unintentionally caused some offence I apologise. |

They showed the 'ethnic minority' remarks made by Yasmina so I have no doubt they'll show this. How sad.

I heard it all now - you can't accuse a black person of being homophobic because they might be offended and therefore see the criticism as racist. Are you aware of what happened in Rwanda - black people can be very racist and intolerant too!
Plenty of people on this thread (myself included) have criticised Mona's backward views and haven't been accused of being racists. Her colour is irrelevant. |

This is silly, yes what she said was wrong/stupid rah rah rah but it's not the Apprentice that gets involved in stupid "rows" that reach the papers and are broadcast, should leave it out and edit it into Big Brother or some other crap, more their level.

Her comments should certainly be shown, its important people know how idiotic the woman is, and i dont care about her skin colour, where shes from, or anything else, these comments are damn sure offensive to me and plenty others. Theres no excuse what so ever.
