Now a non-white person will finally have won Big Brother - Big Brother

Mercury12345 · 28-01-2007, 21:03

After all those years, this example of the "racism" in our country can be laid to rest.

everybodyscream · 28-01-2007, 21:07

Perhaps....but please don't use that term "Non-White." It offends just as Non-Black would offend a white person!!!

Person of colour would be better.

imcheekyme · 28-01-2007, 21:08

I wouldn't be offended by non-black!

TheMith · 28-01-2007, 21:08

Now you are being racist saying that there is a seperation between the colour of skin of the person who wins, surely it doesnt matter what colour their skin is...

Tombo60 · 28-01-2007, 21:08

The term non-white isn't very nice.
And Nadia won BB5

starry · 28-01-2007, 21:09

Who cares they are both boring. It's you people who make race the issue alot more than people in the house. That is the irony of this 'offened audience' in the series.

Modern Man · 28-01-2007, 21:10

Wouldn't Shilpa be categorised as being a dark skinned caucasian?

dude2007 · 28-01-2007, 21:11

aHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...stop it you guys enjoying the ****ing show

I tell you this race religion shit is crazy we are ALL HUMANS FIRST WE ARE ALL HUMAN RACE! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Mariah Carey · 28-01-2007, 21:12

Who cares. She shouldn't win just because she is a different race. The title of this thread is actually racist. It all pisses me off.

Mercury12345 · 28-01-2007, 21:13

Non-white offensive?

How?

I'm talking about people that aren't white.

Same as if people were talking about people that weren't black they'd say non-black. Or people that weren't green non-green.

Calling people racist for things like that trivilaises REAL racism. Do you think I would belong in the BNP part, just because I used the term non-white?

Get real!

bigbruvvaluvvau · 28-01-2007, 21:13

my skin is peach, please do not degrade me by trivialising the colour of my skin.

HUMAN RACE IS SAME!

A "different" race would be alien from Mars or something. We are all ONE RACE of difficult colors

Again, get real.

Shilpa hasn't one because of the colour of her skin. She's won because she's a good person. Which proves that as a country, we aren't racist. That's what this thread is about.

ronnie24 · 28-01-2007, 21:15

To be honest I knew over a week ago that there would be an 'ethnic' winner. Its a clear obvious attempt to brush of all the racism charges.

TechnoGarbage · 28-01-2007, 21:15

My head is about to explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A human being is about to win BB. THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's geneticists who would disagree with that.

Me neither, but even so I think the OP is living in cloud cuckoo land. The English in particular (and to some people this is synonimous with British) will always be accused of racism because our sole purpose in politics is to be the scapegoat.

No way will charges of racism be laid to rest here. The charges will carry on until one day someone says "well hang on, haven't the English been oppressed for 100s of years? Maybe it's time they were able to vote for their own laws in OUR country"

In my opinion Jermaine is the winner. Shilpa hasn't won for her personality at all. Infact, I dare say Shilpa would have been voted out much earlier had people not felt so sorry for her because of Jade.

lionsof66 · 28-01-2007, 21:17

Surely its racist to want a non white person to win?

Or as usual, does it only apply to some.

I am not saying that you are racist or that you belong to the BNP.

I am objecting to your terminology : "Non-White."

I am a person of colour who grew up in South Africa during aparheid.

Everything was segregated. The signs read "Whites Only" and "Non-Whites Only."

Very supremacist term!

lol, you've got that the wrong way round. "Colour" isn't politically correct, but "white"/"black"/etc is.

Chilli Dragon · 28-01-2007, 21:19

Great that a non-white has won, shame that the crowd have to undermine it

Not quite as angry as you but agree with the sentiment. Why do people have to point out she's a "non white". If we want to stop the racism, then stop mentioning the race.
