We all saw what happened with Shilpa. Then we had the episode last year when that evil witch Helen was consistently getting at Brian and now we have this thug Lewis who was acting extremely hostile towards Heavy D and even threw a drink over him. Of course Heavy D was the one punished by the "great" british public but why does this pattern of ethnic housemates being abused continue to rear it's head? Even Natalie was threatened by Jane but apparently people want to sweep these latest incidents under the carpet.

I mean the way Jackson was treated and Natalie was called OMFG SO VIOLENT AND AGGRESSIVE but Hughie and Jasons outburst was like brushed away and now Lewis/Bear/Marnie being excused for actual aggression/intimidation makes me side-eye everyone and everything.

But this thread is bullshit because Heavy D wasn't no victim. He was a moron who joined 'Squad' first and had no qualms about pissing everyone else off then kept flip flopping like the whale that he is.

Jade's dad was the mixed race one from what I remember.

The point is if an ethnic housemate would have thrown drink over someone aggressively like Lewis did, or if an ethnic housemate would have gotten in someones face and made threats I'm sure there would have been a big issue made!!..but Lewis and Jane get off scott free...I wonder why?

yh your right i meant they are both 1/4 black and as ignorant as it sounds i dont consider people who are 1/4 black as mixed race others of course would debate me but they usually look more white as they are and to me you could never put heavy d or jade in the same category as halle berry or obama but others will have their own opinions. heavy d looks like a white guy who may possibly have white spanish or greek heritage.

I know like I said in my post, Natalie and Jackson were made to be something much worse than they were because they were loud and talked 'street' in Jackson case. But when Jason actually destroyed property and talked about 'ain't no security gonna stop me etc' then everyone was ghost on here. When Jackson said he felt intimidated people were saying he was talking shiit because he talked with a street accent.

But Heavy got his karma with that drink in his face. He been plucking folks' last nerve for the duration of his time and he tried the wrong one. I don't like Lewis but Heavy needed that 'punk out' that he got. Old bitchass.

I assumed he was North West European and naturally blonde until I saw Aubury doing his hair the other night.

I have got used to housemates going in with high maintenance styles that they can't maintain in the house. So as I couldn't see any sign of regrowth and when hair is that short the roots will show in two weeks, I had concluded he was naturally fair.

Chelsea Singh made similar comments and there wasn't much reaction either. I don't think its ethnicity that's behind it, its popularity.

And the hm who garnered most overtly prejudiced comments on here was Hughie. Snide comments about his male relatives not turning up for the final and would they have their faces blanked out, how would he get paid if he won because "gypsies don't have bank accounts", not to mention an entire thread titled "Get the Irish Gypsy Out."

Talking of regrowth, I never noticed so much as a whisper of rootage on Jayne, she remained a suspiciously shiny platinum blonde the entire series.

Wonder is she was naturally grey/white and the contrast was less visible?

Well God Damn. I ain't see those!

I got banned like 2403 times though so that's why probably.

But the way Natalie was treated on here was ridic.

The way Jacksons accent was treated like ISIS was ridic also.

Jackson's accent was ridiculed because it kept changing from Prince Charles to Bob Marley, not because it was ethnic.

i dont believe there was a thread titled get the irish gypsy out people exaggerate too much on here i do remember a thread entitled get the gypsy guy out tho, my problem is whnever people speak about any form of racism against non white people, there is always people that have to change the subject by speaking about something not related to the subject.

I mean the way people were describing the accent. It's done every time some has an accent that isn't 'accepted' on here, like street slang. People start acting like Judge Rinder and pretending not to know what anything means.

Bob Marley also never sounded like anything Jackson sounded like.

yes because he was insecure and kept trying to fit in with the posh bird who kept mimicking his accent, wonder if they are still together.

Yes there was. Get the Irish Gypsy Out was the exact wording of the thread title. It caused plenty of comment at the time.
