For repeatedly referring to Cami-Li as chola yet a warning for Ken using negro for Alex

I wouldn't be sure he hadn't been warned. Helen Wood apparently was warned more than a dozen times for things that never actually aired.

Chola/Cholo isn't that commonly used over here to be fair. Its more of an american thing where there are more latin americans.

Nah, it's more along the lines of calling a Brit a limie.

sorry but i dont understand that slur your talking about can you elaborate more because both perez and cami lee are hispanic.

It's hardly in the same bracket.

It isn't a racial slur, it's a fashion stereotype.

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholo.

Seems a bit like the Hispanic equivalent of our "chavette".

but evan if thats the case wouldnt make sense as perez is hispanic himsself, like i made a thread the other day explaining hispanic isnt a race its simply a person of latin american heritage regardless of race. perez hylton is a white person of spanish ancestry. not quite sure about cami but she also could easily be a white person of spanish ancestry from spain as well but she could easily be mixed spanish and native american ancestry like what most mexicans are.

Or maybe he meant this?

"Chola is an old school Punjabi slang word for clitoris, comparing that part of the female anatomy to a chickpea."

Cami is Puerto Rican

Cholo/chola : Of uncertain origin. Commonly denotes Hispanic gangster types (in the U.S., not in Mexico)

The first time I heard her being called that was by Patsy the other night when Perez was screaming at Cami. I just thought it was a pet name Patsy had for her.

I thought Patsy called her Camila. I've heard Calum say Camilia.

BB is probably struggling to work out if Chola is offensive or not.

Might easiest just to ask "Cami Li". (I assumed she was Chinese when I first heard the name.)

Her name is Camila.

On the live show Patsy said, 'Where's Chola? Oh there she is, Camilia, what are you doing?' Cami took no offence whatsoever - I also thought it was just a pet name for her.

Some people bandy the word 'racism' around recklessly.

I've heard Patsy call it her too. I suspect a lot of them use it but we don't get to hear it often.

It's a name she has chosen, others use it to her face as a chosen nickname.

So, no issue.

Seems Perez is only one that has a problem about name calling, " get my lawyers". did he not say something about Calum and Pussylicked, how come some gay's or homosexuals can say what they like about heterosexuals and nothing is said, sorry if not PC or if I offend

That's the first time I heard it too,I was thinking we had another hm then I realised who she was talking about thought it was a nickname for her.

Patsy calls Cami Chola all of the time and Cami refers to herself as Chola, I wish people would pay attention before getting offended.
Cami's version of Chola is in reference to female gang boss.

Some people on here are desperate for Perez to get a warning. Pretty much everything he does people are saying he should be warned for, the desperation is quite funny

Seems so, I noticed the very first time she called herself Chola and then Patsy started referring to her as Chola.
The reason it stuck out to me is because at school the Italian Boys used to say Minga Chola all of the time and I was wondering what she meant by Chola as they meant their bits so I googled it and realised she thinks she's a Gang Boss.
