My complaint was not specifically about racism, it was about bullying. I felt, and still feel, that Big Brother has encouraged a culture of bullying in the house - ironically what I did not complain about was them actually showing the bullying, I think that it should be shown if that's what happened rather than anything being brushed under the carpet.

Yes, I agree it's very easy to play the race card in situations like this but I do think that a culture clash is partly the reason for Shilpa being singled out. However, I think the over riding factor is class, of which Shilpa has in bucket loads and Jade has none.
