Celebrity Big Brother

To the world: We aren’t all like this

Now for a hot topic that has been making news headlines around the globe. Celebrity Big Brother here in the UK has kicked up a storm over apparent racist allegations against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty by three of her female housemates.

Now I’m sure most of you have seen TV footage by now of what has transpired in the house. For those who haven’t seen it, check YouTube for footage, if any. Basically Jade Goody (head honcho), Danielle Lloyd and Jo O’Meara have bullied Shilpa about various issues that some people are claiming is racist towards Indians. Now, I’m a British born Asian myself, so I just want to state my opinions on this. I don’t see it as racism, but almost borderline racism. It could have been much worse, but I think Channel 4 have warned the bullies not to venture out that far.

I was born in 1975; in London and have NEVER EVER had racist abuse or encounters thrown at me, ever. Not all residents of this country are like Jade and Co. Jade herself is a human of rather low IQ, speaks without thinking and is so utterly dumb that it makes me laugh out loud. She is what’s known by us UK’ers as a ‘Chav‘.
