what did Jade call Shilpa?

[jonnoman]

what racial names did Jade call Shilpa?

DON'T ANSWER IF THEY ARE REALLY RACIST THOUGH!!!

[missjef]

one of them was shilpa poppadom.

[-Zorro-]

The names werent racist....its like me calling an Aussie bird Sheila........but I think her mother started the racism calling her The Indian...and Jade nievely followed when her mother left the house.

Can you imagine calling an English Person Johnny Eggs and Bacon or Sarah Fish and Chips ? It needs to be laughed at. I never heard Jade being specifically racially abusive - I think a lot of it was taken right out of context.

The bullying though ? - Now thats another thing ...........

[Pippa68]

That's the last time I call my dad a Yorkshire Pudding..

[battersby]

Sshh, Dont shout!

[almcd007]

Yorkshire is not a race - I think it would be Countyist or Countist - or have I just offended Dracula ? There I've gone and done it now !

It seems you can't dislike anyone without being labelled racist, homophobic or Countist !

[Pippa68]

Poppadom isn't a race either, is it...? if you ar calling someone a foodstuff and it is taken as a racist comment there is no hope for any of us!

[posiedon]

isn't that being foodist

[boro1986]

There were not racist!!!! But jamine calling Jackie white trash was and what has been said about this not a thing!!! Reat my case

[Pippa68]

I agree that the three of them were bullying Shilpa ~ but I am not sure it was racially motivated..more culturally motivated which of course is another thing entirely. They are basically jealous of her intellect & class, I reckon.

As for Jermaine ~ he didn't actually call Jackiey or Jade 'white trash' to their faces..he told Shilpa that this is what they would be called in the US. Incidently, this phrase was invented by American white folk..not ethnic people.

He also replied 'of course' to the Q about whether his wife was black. This has been assumed as a racist issue by white people. I disagree. If his preference is being with a black woman, then all fine & dandy..it is a personal choice. My husband has often said he wouldn't go out with an ethnic woman ~ the reason for that he hasn't said..merely that he has never found any he has met attractive! He is far from racist.

If Jermaine had elaborated and started saying that he 'only liked black women because white women are...*insert derogatory comment*' then racism may or may not be assumed.

So lets be honest its been cleverly edited and advertised by Channel 4 to boost ratings

[drchasuble]

They latched on to the poppadum thing although Jade had called her Shilpa Fxckawallah a second before. I would have found that far more offensive.

I wouldn't have called it racist behaviour from Jade per se. She was just being a spiteful bully. Danielle and Jackiey made the more racist comments.

When Jack was alledged to have said p*** and Channel 4 denied this saying that he had said c***, I think the public assumed that he said "see yoou next tuesday but I believe he said c00n which is incredibly offensive.

[Pippa68]

Of course!

Let's face it..who was actually watching the show before this kicked off... which *celeb* did anything remotely interesting or shocking, besides Leo Sayers constant sexual frustration?

[drchasuble]

And Boro, would you call Jackiey and Jade chavs? White trash (And they undoubtedly are white trash) is just on a par with that.

[Pippa68]

I agree, drchasuble ~ are they saying that c00n is less offensive than pakee?

That is strange. i remember being at school with a mate from Pakistan and when I asked her why she wasn't offended at being called a pakee she replied that as she was from pakistan, she was a pakee. However, if she had been called a 'fxckin smelly pakee' or words to that effect then it may well have been different ~ I suppose it is down to context & manner.

All I know is that this one will run & run.

[drchasuble]

I grew up in France and got called Rosbif (Roast Beef) all the time at school and it didn't really bother me. It was just silliness on their part.

I don't think the poppadum thing was too relevant and I feel that Shilpa was a little nonplussed when Jade apologised. BB TOLD Jade to apologise for a stupid insignificant comment when she should have apologised to Shilpa for being abusive and for her conduct in general.

[Pippa68]

I am from the south, and when I moved up to Manchester I was constantly called 'Cockney Git'.

It was harmless ribbing ~ although I am sure a more sensitive soul would have said they were being bullied.

[Nether Edge]

Weren't the Tube bombers using poppadom flour, though?

[Leight0n]

Japati flour I beleive. Beside which, I don't think any of them were in the real world when that came about.

Two words.... Race Card

[drchasuble]

Leighton, sorry to be dense but I don't get your race card point?
