Indians Reply

Hi angelic, U see that Matt! This is an example of a Ideal Citizen! See how different is his/her mentality is than urs.

not every UK citizen are like those 3 womans and not every indian is like those ppl who burnt the effigy showing their hatred against big brother in patna.

Where is the racism from as you put it "the lowest kind of scum". I have seen a group of women clshing through a class and snoberry issue but not racist. Have you forget when Jade walked into that house and how she was made to feel by the three who were there. That made me embarrassed to think of how superior Jermaine Jackson, Ken Russel and Shilpa felt. Then Jermaine calling them white trash. To me that was racist. You do not know how they have made her feel. There is nothing worse than someone looking down on you, and in this country to have a working class accent it automatically makes people think you are thick. They had no tolerance for the kind of culture this family had come from and it is a hard one. Try having Jades mum. I know I would be in a mental hospital by now. If this is seen as being racist then alot of people need to look in the dictionary to discover the true definition. They have all been manipulated by the programme and to be in such and environment where arguments erupt over how long it takes to cook a chicken, justs goes to show the intensity of living in such a confined environment.

Thanks for your comments Blueray, I'm glad that you don't think all English people are like those racist bullies, because most of us aren't, and we're disgusted by their behaviour. I think Shilpa's coping extremely well in a nasty environment, and has maintained her dignity and self-respect, not stooping to their level. That sort of bullying cliqueish behaviour is unacceptable and disgraceful when you see it in 14-year-olds, but in grown adults, it's unthinkable. I hope (and I believe) their careers will be over one the show has ended.

As the question about racism was targeted at "England" as a whole, and not Britain or the UK I was responding to those comments (which were about the "English"). This is not racism against Wales or Scotland, and I'm sure the Scots and Welsh and Northern Irish members of the UK are all against racism too. But the question was not about Britain, nor was this response: it was about inherant racism in the English people. I was merely speaking up for the English, and blueray was answering the question which was about the English, not the UK. No-one's accusing Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland of institutionalised racism, so to bring those nationalities to account for something they're not accused of would simply be daft. I'm glad you're against the behaviour in the Big Brother house too. All I'm saying is that the English (who are not all racists as the person who posted the question seems to think) are outraged too, and that this isn't representative of the English.

I agree, but theres more than jsut England in the UK, theres Wales, Ireland and Scotland, and they watch it too, so when you tlak bout the english when, you mean the Uk, just mention that, there is more than one country in the UK, and i know that not all of the UK, are racist, and are providing moral support to Shilpa, they dont like to see whats happening, to her, jsut as much as indians.

comment on the person may be tolerated.but if the country as a whole or race as whole is targetted through a person do you think it tolerable I THINK SHILP SHETTY SHOULD QUIT AT ONCE THE BIG BROTHER REALITY SHOW OF CHANNEL -4

in other words?

Listen dude.... don't blow this out of proportion.... that is whole concept of the serial.... Now if she was actin in a movie and such a thing what would you say.... eat your own words.... please dude.. she is grown up... she signed up with consent and because she was being compensated and she was also aware of the serial's theme.. Now please don't stand up make a non-issue of this.... Dude.... learn to laugh it off... we all have problems.... i have a neighbour, a kid in a slum who is constantly being bullied and shouted at by others.... she needs support, finance as well as help.. Do me a favor... do somethin for her... You would benefit in the long run.. As fot the rest... enjoy it.... or if you are "really" particular send the sponsors a letter givin your comments as well as offering your services to adjudicate for future serials You are being paid and you still need sympathy... there is something seriously wrong here ! What a bozo....... dude grow up !!

I agree with first contact. You don't fight racism with racism!

When is calling someone a dog a racist slur??? This discussion is going off the point that a group of women just don't get on due to difference in class. If someone called me a dog I would not think they were racist. Just as when Shilpa said Jade was from the gutter, still not a racist slur???

Not al of us people in the UK, are pigs, we dont agree with whats happening, and you should not discrimintae the people of the UK, jsut because of the comments of a few, its not right.

You need to go and watch the show and not make such a statement before knowing the whole truth. Who has cheap images in their minds about Indians??? No wonder racism will never end after reading some of the comments posted here. Everyone should be judged individually and not feel a whole nation is being racially slurred from what is being reported, untruthfully, in my opinion. Think for yourself and not just follow the hype. I wonder how many people on this discussion have actually watched the show all the way through to be able to make an honest decision about what is really going on??

thank you forseeing that this personwho started the discussion is in their own way being racist towards british people, who have been compalining about the way she is treated for some time now.

I agree, its kind of racist against all britons, nobody, like how Shilpa is being treated, and she has a lot of people backing her, and dont like how she is being treated.

In india we treat guest as God(atithi devo bhav,That means Guest is Like God )We respect foreigner as guest and respect them.And this is the treatment we get there.Why because they are Rich and developed nation?...With Material richness they should learn richness of mind and soul too.Please Respect the human dignity(if you are really educated and civilized)otherwise there is no differnce in human and animal except wearing clothes)

u made the same mistake as investor did. not every India in every street of every city and state did this. ppl of patna are very sensitive and they r connected to politics either directly or indirectly they just want to ccome in limelight by doing all thi[burmimg effigy]. I am agree that it is not such a big matter as ppl r making it. Matt ur way of thinking is very wrong. People dont hate america or britain but they hate their politics.

I can't believe that there has been this hype. She is in no way being attacked because of her race but the fact that she looks down her nose at the other women and thinks they are less than her. I have watched the show from the beginning. Have you? It is very upsetting to think people now feel that people in the UK are attacking Indians. Please!! Jermaine Jackson called a family who went into the house "White Trash". Should I now feel that that all black Americans think this of white people in the UK? Shilpa said she has a "Man Friday". That is a racist term towards black people if you really want to split hairs. Shilpa has undermined some of the women by taking the pee out of the way they speak and from my observations has made them feel patronised by her own feeling of superiority. This is to do with her personality and not her race. I have heard many cases where Indians are racist against black people and I was told once by my Indian friend that if she ever brought a black man home to meet her parents they would disown her. Is this true?? Do I then judge every Indian person the same. No. I have the intelligence to respect everyone individually and so should you before making such comments that the people in the Big Brother house represent the feelings of the rest of the UK. What is happening in that house has to do with class. The white women in the house are portrayed as thick and Shilpa and Jermaine Jackson have put themselves on a pedestal, looking down on them. I would like to see what would happen if Shilpa fell in love with Jermaine and took him home to her parents what would they say!! Stupid rumours and people misreading this situation makes people think this is racism and it is not. The whole thing has got out of hand.

ya i do agree wid u... individual opinions dont reflect the opinion of a nation....but still they should have edited it.....tech is that advanced ...live editing is possible no?

I didn't know Monti Panesar had faced racist abuse!? That's terrible, and unacceptable. Race should never be an issue. He's a much-loved cricketer, and I've never heard anything but positive comments about him and his cricket playing.

Thuis is true, but u cant say this about all the people of the UK, just because of the comments of a few, its not right,, and she has a lot of support her, u know, not just all ova india, and that, the british, as well feel, what some have said in big brother, is not right.

that is absolutly true!!!!!!

now its quite clear by the discussions of these people that how racist and bad mannered these people are(so called civilized and developed country people)

yes the three girls may possibly be but don't go around labelling all british people o bee racist, i resent that. you are acting in a racist way by saying that yourself!

Seems like alot of hatred is coming out against the British people as a whole from some of the responses. And what over, a few women clashing in a reality show. These are sad times when people are so aggressive without really judging this situation from both sides. There has not been one comment on the Indian nation. Please, this is where racial hatred starts from hearsay without seeing the whole truth. I am offended by your comments which are far worse than anything that has been said in the Big Brother house.

i think u r very much impressed by lage raho munna bhai so u r upon gandhigiri??? after a prolonged thinking,i thought u are right....
