Julie KeastI Hate Racism
If there is anything I hate more then anything else, it is racism so a story out of Britain involving three Celebrity Big Brother contestants who the British people have complained are being racist against another housemate, Indian Bollywood actress, Shilpa Shetty. Jo O'Meara (a former member of pop band, S Club &
, Danielle Lloyd (a former Miss Britain) and Jade Goody ( a former reality TV star) really upset me.
Various incidents include: All three calling Shilpa "a dog", Lloyd refusing to touch a roast chicken made by Shilpa because Shilpa's hands had been on it (this remark left Shilpa in tears) O' Meara commenting that the reason Indian girls are so thin is because they undercook their food, O' Meara and Lloyd even went to the lengths of imitating Shetty's accent and laughing about it. There are even claims, one of the housemates called her a "Paki"
The organisers of Celebrity Big Brother have said that they will look into and take the appropriate action against O' Meara, Goody and Lloyd and crack down on racism on the show.
In my opinion, if they really want to stamp racism out then they have got to either make these three apologise to Shetty or if they refuse then by all means punish them...keep them in the house but disqualified from the competition or even throw them out. Australia had two housemates thrown out for sexually assaulting a female housemate so why not throw these three out for racism and emotional abuse of a fellow housemate?
I cannot tolerate racism in any form and as far as I am concerned,Lloyd, Goody and O' Meara have just about done enough to deserve to be thrown out or disqualified...I know I shouldn't get upset over a lame TV show but you know what? I can't help it...racism makes me sick and is almost the reason for all the problems we have in this world.
