Any black winner ever?
I wonder why? We had all kind of people from diverse minorities winning.
Is this because of the usual token mixture of the house? One ethnic minority gets usually 1 max 2 people. Endemol not picking the right people? Darren came quite far in BB1 so ... Dunno. Any ideas?

I suppose we're not ready for it yet.
Some of us are even still using words like 'coloured'. |

Kenzie is half Indian (Asian) apparently. Ray, from BB4, was the same.

I couldn't care less what colour, sex, sexual preference, age, etc. etc. the winner of BB is, as long as they are the right winner.

I'll be kind to Doc here and suggest that perhaps he / she is of the age where saying coloured is still thought of as acceptable - like my mates grandad..
But I think the thread should be removed.. |

No-one from an ethnic minority have won Big Brother (yet) because they haven't been the best housemates. Not a question of race - if they're not good enough to win they're not good enough to win. End of story.

Don't slate the guy just for saying 'coloured' - it might not have been meant in the wrong context. It was a perfectly acceptable word at one point (I remember getting told off in a Geography class for referring to blacks and I was told to use the term coloured - that was in the early 1990's).
In 10 years time it might be considered offensive to use the term 'black' - I feel sorry for some old people who might not keep up with the changes in language and can wrongly be labelled as racist when they're not. It's too easy to jump on the PC bandwagon sometimes. |

Not even metaphorically.

That is the only reason for this thread!! |

Nadia was hardly whiter than white - so we've had a hispanic winner.

Ah....the subject of race has been raised....quick...silence it by saying "political correctness" as much as possible...that'll make a difficult and complex issue vanish in a simple two word phrase...
