He even tried to make a comparison with Shilpa on BBLB,claimed his mother rang him all concerned about how he had been treated in the house, and just got to the,just like shilp, when George cut him off.



which makes Marcus the new Jade Goody... Ninja



I saw his kebab, sitting over on sophies bed. Nod

This has all the hallmarks of a spoof story engineered with a view to bring in some much needed publicity to both the pisspoor Sun and the struggling BB programme.
They are winding people up and once again the Forum simpletons have fallen for it.


The last time this happened, it gave rise to an International Incident and the alleged perepetrator has since died. The French have been calling us Rosbifs for years. The entire French nation should be taken to the European Court of Human Rights and be made to pay for their racism because it is just not on to call people after national foods or to speak their lingo in a funny accent.

It's all pathetic.

But they're just indigenous British accents. Sree's an Indian national with a culture shared by a large number of our immigrants. We're over-sensitive to how mocking interactions are perceived for our main immigrant groups in particular because we still not quite fully integrated and comfortable. I think it's quite rational, really.

Oooo, messing with our emotional heads eh? Laugh

Marcus was being rude and using one of Sree's attributes to mock him. It's the same as Chris and his mocking of Freddie. But what's the essential difference between mocking Sree's Indian accent and mocking his skin colour? None, really, they're both Indian attributes. That's where the core of this is. They're Indian attributes and some people more than others are sensitive to what that means.

In this case, I think they're over-sensitive going forward but nonetheless I think there are reasonable grounds to initially question what was going on beyond that of Chris's mocking of Freddie's accent. I don't think Marcus was actually treating Sree's accent any differently than Chris was treating Freddie's, myself. Jade's treatment of Shilpa, however, was of a different order.

Btw, I might be wrong but I think Blizzie is seeing something similar. I keep chuckling at her one liners about the man at the local shop which no-one seems to want to pick up on. Laugh

FFS I'm bloody sick of all these really really stupid people complaining to OFCOM - the minute there is just the slightest bit of band wagon they can jump onto they will.

Marcus was NOT being racist! I'm fed up it all. It's ok for people to mock the posh accent or Brummie etc but GOD FORBID if someone mimicks the Indian accent they should be shot at dawn for being so incredibly racist!!! Mad

I'm so angry and I bet Sree if fueling this fire good and proper the pathetic little turd!

Ive not read this whole thread as no time but I'm sorry if I have just repeated what others have already said. Roll Eyes

totally agree. Its just getting rediculous. I'm sure someone mimiking any other accent wouldnt even be thought of. What about him saying about Freddies dyslexia.

I actually am looking forward to this programme going elsewhere so they can have some NUts and put some more guts and edge back in the programme, instead of this silly pussy footing around with ofcom for every reason Roll Eyes

Well he can f*ck off!!! I hated him in the house and hate him even more now the little turd!!!!!
