Recently there has been a huge debate about racism in a big brother and most people claimed that this is not acceptable in our society. So I would personally like to express my view toward this situation.
Racism has existed throughout human history and has been present in many forms, but what exactly is racism? It can be defined as the hatred of one person by another or the belief that another person is less than human because of skin colour, language, customs, and nationality or any personal characteristic of an individual. This is mostly happens when people from different cultural backgrounds have disagreements with each other or make no effort to understand difference. This is exactly what occurred in big brother hose between Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty. Jade made ‘racists’ comments saying that Shilpa should 'Go back to the slums', referring to India as a slum. In addition Shilpa herself was subjected to insults and at one point called ‘Poppadom’.
I think this is one of the form of racisms which is due to frustration because Shilpa is talented and classy person and what ever task jade is carrying whether is TV show or not she should not behave in way that harts people feelings, special where she presented herself in TV show like big brother and what jade say may offend people as well as damaging her career, Although Jade apparently didn’t mean what she said, it cannot be undone. It just remains to see if there has been any long lasting damaged caused by this incident but hopefully it will have demonstrated the need to show respect and other cultures but education ourselves.
