Big Brother offends & discriminates against asians

anti BIG BROTHER | 16.01.2007 15:50 | Anti-racism

Channel 4 Big Brother discriminates against Asians for the sake of good TV & advertising ratings.

Whilst i will never stoop so low to actually watch the brainless TV programme, i was surprised to hear that OFCOM have received 3,500 complaints in the last two days on what has happened on the TV show.

It just shows that Channel 4 think it is a good combination to put these three stupid... sawdust between the brain...nobody... has been 'celebrities' onto a TV show that is sadly watched by alot of asians in the UK.

The celebs who are sharing one brain cell between them and who are doing all the discriminating are Jade Goody (

http://www.daniellelloyd.co.uk) and Jo O'Meara (

http://www.joomearaofficial.com ).

The victim is Shilpa Shetty, a Bollywood actress who has a very good education and knows several languages. (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilpa_Shetty )

Its very clear that these ASBO educated teenage celebs have no concept that their bullying, racial and discriminatory comments can outrage Asians in the UK and around the world. Likewise is seems Channel 4 have no concept what they have done by putting these celebs together. it seems that they have only put these celebs together to get this reaction to increase its TV rating and its advertising revenue.

What they don't realize is that all asians will be tuning out of the show and boycotting it. Perhaps that will force the program off air or at least the idiot who put all this celebs together to gang up on an asian to get the sack.

In this day and age of the war on terror, everyone must be that extra careful to respect people's colour, race and religion to maintain some sort of calm. Channel 4 Big Brother must not be allowed to create such a situation for the purposes on financial gain and ratings whilst creating racial tensions that could explode.

Channel 4 needs to realize that some of their 'celebs' must have an education (at least one GCSE between these three celebs would be good) before they can walk into the programme instead of thinking it would be fun to throw these celebs together to see what the reaction is going to be.

perhaps there should be demos and protests against channel 4 Big Brother to make them realise. what do people think?

Big brother offends everyone with eyes, ears or brains.

Borat 'win' in USA - brainiwashing is total - c4 is effective brainwashing tool

Look at the full Channel 4 package.

Look beyond the sleazy walls set up by the immorally set up entrepreneur trading on what is nothing less than pornography and vulgarity.

Channel 4 has served the immoralisers of society in Britain right from the start almost 25 years ago.

It is more effective as a brainwasher because its so-called remit says that it is in place to provide intelligent alternative.

Over the Jeremy Isaacs [first chief executive at Channel 4] years, Channel four claimed to be breaking new ground.

The boastful claims are contained in Isaacs’s own published recollections.

Channel 4 must not be only criticised now because of the CBBH evidence of racist attacks on the Hindu girl.

Contrast the tolerance of mass anti-Muslim racism by Channel 4

And the stunning silence over all of that.

If you tolerate racism against Muslims and only object to racism against Hindus then you cannot have credibility.

Be fair. Be strong and be effective in the criticism of the racist Channel 4

If you are selective in criticising racism then you shall not deserve credibility even when you are apparently criticising Channel 4, no matter how low that Channel 4 is.

Speak out against the racist programmes that are daily aired via Channel 4 under covers of reporting against alleged terrorism.

Look at the contents and you will find that Channel 4 has been lying just as viciously as Blair has been about WMD and the rest of it.

So, condemn CBBH racism by all means. But do so with integrity of intellect and argument

20 people complain about the allege offence, (I not brother to watch BB this year so I can't comment what has been said.) The Red Tabloid press goes cockahoop with it's headlines and sells a few million newspapers and hey presso 10, 000 people ring to complain. Out of those 10, 000 how many of them actually watch the show considering how bad the show is?

It goes to show the power of main stream newspapers.

Right condemnation, wrong reasons

Well I must say that was one of the most snobby rants I have read on Indymedia.

antiBigBrother:

You seem to be shocked by the racism because it is being directed against a well-educated person by three less educated people. Do you think that Shipla is superior because she speaks several languages? Educated people can be racist too. Nick Griffin and Mark Collet both slimed their fascist way through university. If three university professors had abused a black girl with one GCSE who worked as a butcher, would you have reacted in a different way.

I didn't realise you spoke for all asians either "All asians will be turning out of the show"

These three racists were vile and Big Brother is a rubbish program, but Big Brother didn't make these three racist. How do you vet people for racism? Were any of the 3 known for racism before this show?
Perhaps BB's exposing of their racism might be a good thing? Now people will avoid them.

justsurfing, it must be terrible for you that you cannot control what is on the television and that some people at Channel 4 like to discuss their acheivements. When did Channel 4 ever claim Saddam had WMD's?

Your claim that because the original poster condones anti-Muslim racism because he does not explicitly mention it is laughable. You have not mentioned racism against Africans. Does this mean you condone it?

Although I do not watch Big Brother and despise that crap, I cannot work out the full story because nobody has actually put what was said by the 3 stars against the Bollywood actress.

I can only assume it is the political correctness bollocks that comes from the socialists. Borat was also a really funny film and it offended everyone who watched it, so wasn't racist.

Why not sell some newspapers?

Stop buying newspapers everyone...

The BB environment does put a strain on people, as with every negative feeling, people to do nit pick in faults or differences, and unforunately its coined as racism now...

This is the most ridiculous thing i have heard in a long while. we should stop being so sensitive towards minorities. Take the comment that Jermaine called Jade's mum white trash, imagine the uproar if the girls had called shilpa "indian trash?" ... why isn't jermaine branded as a racist if this is the case?

Shilpa took the mickey out of Dirks name, yet when jades mum can't pronounce shilpa she is also a racist?

Sighh!!!
