Let me correct that for you:
1. Mandana used racist remarks against Priya by telling her go to Australia
2. Mandana has also made anti Indian remarks on this show
3. Mandana has repeatedly talked about other people and how they are not even her level
4. Mandana has said India is not her country...tired of explaining in f*ucking Hindi...and kept on saying It's my choice wrt to using abusive language
5. She doesn't have a communication problem...she's very well able to comminate her point across whether it be giving gaalis or during weekend episodes.
@ bold - How? Ethnicity is a prerequisite to racism - Priya is not Australian by ethnicity or descent, and as such, Mandana's remark could not be racist even if if tried to be.
Telling someone to go back to the country they live in may be a big deal in the U.S. or elsewhere, sure, but wrongfully accusing someone of racism is a HUGE deal there, and the last I recall, Priya got away with wrongfully accusing racism twice (KJ and Mandana) on this show, without so much as a question.
Rishabh's comment to Mandy was not intended to be racist, imo - and intention is important, but as far as the content goes, Mandana is half-Iranian, so the comment could be construed as racist. Yet again, as I recall, Rishabh too got away scot free with that remark both with the host and many viewers, as apparently, Mandana 'deserves' it. So as far as bias for or against a contestant goes, it pervades most viewership.
