And I was happy Bez won, so I'm also a low-life druggie scum according to another thread. Hurrah! I'm having a good day. :yawn: |

I think the fact we`ve not had a black winner (YET!) is down to the contestants and their character.......nothing to do with racism.
I think Victor stood a reasonable chance of winning BB5 until he had the wedding day arguement with pathetic Shell. That changed a lot of people`s views on him. |

How many coloured people are there in the UK? What's the percentage? It'll be higher in the south than in the north. Here in Scotland there's actually still very few black people indeed, quite a few asians I suppose. Considering there have only been 5 proper big brothers, I dont think one in 5 in UK is coloured, it will be less than that. So it is not statistically significant that there have been no coloured winners yet.
The original post is offensive and ignorant. |

Here's a thought: why not just drop the entire subject? *nb I am one. So I can say that. Ner. |

Nadia was tanned I think. If you saw pictures of him pre-op he looked quite pale (and stubbly).

Look the main point is there is less than 20% coloured people in the UK so you cant expect to have had a winner yet! It gets beyond a joke when coloured people (particularly black people I have noticed) start complaining about this sort of thing. Reality check time.
