Why does it matter?
If it turns out he's mixed race some will say 'you see, there's no racism involved'. If it turns out he's white, some will say 'see, there is racism involved' Caring about his 'ethnic extraction' in this day and age is rather worrying in itself. Not cool lying about your racial heritage, that's why it matters |

You have answered nothing, but that is no surprise.
What is my game then? I have no game here. This is a discussion board. If you're going to say things, then they're going to be discussed. |

That's because there hasn't been a black male HM who was anything like Bear. In fact, Bello would be the closest to him in terms of loudness and energy. Derek is one controversial HM who comes to mind, he was vicious and he did well. Coolio and Daley were two other controversial ones, neither were voted out.
As for the others, Jason's only controversial moment was taking the money and Helen was a woman and had a buy to the final, so I don't know why you'd even bring her up. Second and got booed. Someone like science could have won he was actually liked on this forum despite losing against orlaith who walked the next day. |

I 'lurked' all through normal BB and saw a few of these threads started about possible racism, sexism etc, and I couldn't help thinking, as I do with this one, that it always comes over, my own opinion obviously, that these OP's are the racist, sexist ones. Most of the voters will be either saving who they like or keeping in the entertaining HM's, I feel sure that colour or gender probably didn't cross their minds. It seems to me that the only person with Asian and woman at the forefront of their thinking is the OP. You were the one to separate Saira from the other nominees purely based on colour and gender.
As I said, just my opinion. |

I think Saira had nothing going for her to offset what are normally 3 big handicaps for votes, when there's a combination: woman, middle-aged, ethnic minority.
Jayne in the civilian series was a rare middle-aged female contestant who was popular because unlike Saira she was nice. But mostly either BB choose obnoxious horrors or the world just generally doesn't much like older opinionated women, maybe cos they've outlived their usefulness...I dunno. Almost every Loose Woman has been unusually loathed on here. |

You can't give a reason why EVERYONE who didn't vote for her didn't vote for her. Sure, there are always going to be racists out there, but I don't think she was evicted by a racist vote.
However I do think that many people might probably vote based on who they identify with more and who they feel more familiar with. As there may be more voters who feel they have more in common with and are more similar in many ways to the other potential evictees they voted for them instead. So I'd say it was more a vote FOR certain housemates rather than against Saira. I think it was a bad decision, and bad reasoning if what I posted above has any merit, but there you go. |
