As with the “BNP ballerina” row last week, a major British cultural institution seems determined to defend the indefensible. The broadcast comments aimed at Indian actress Shilpa Shetty by other “housemates” in the current Celebrity Big Brother series cannot be seen as anything other than old-style racism. For Channel 4 to say such comments are to do with “cultural and class” differences is ignorant at best but more likely a cynical attempt to stave off criticism as the show’s ratings and profits rise as a result of the publicity. While some may defend CBB housemates’ racist comments as being simply a reflection of worrying levels of racism British society, the massive and angry response shows that the majority of people in this country are opposed to racism and don’t want it broadcast, excused and defended. Predictably, the fascist British National Party have now stuck their oar in using the row to attack ‘multiculturalism’ and perhaps showing their true colours declaring that ‘They should close the programme and shoot the lot of them.’ Click ‘read more’ to see what music artists and DJs think about Big Brother racism.
