How is such racist behavior allowed on TV? - Page 2

Bani and Jason can feel home with each other in this regards. Both of their appearances make people judge them easily and then call them names. And it has no commoner or Celeb factor. Aadha desh hi yahi sochta hai toh how can we blame only Manu.

I commented about this on a different post and like you said it would be a completely different matter if it was an American show. Such racist and discriminitaing behaviour would never be accepted and any individual using such derogatory terms to belittle another would be reprimanded.
It reminds me of the Jade goody and shilpa shetty case in big brother years ago. Shilpina had the whole countries support and became a house hold name because of the racism she was subjected to in the bb house.
I really hope that manu and others who joined in are questioned and are severely punished for such disgusting behaviour

I completely agree with you! Manu just shows how much of a loser he is. I hate how bigg boss contestants think making fun of somebody's appearance or the way they are is considered entertainment or funny for that matter. Like I am in awe of Jason knowing such amazing hindi, wayyy better than Manu coz atleast Jason isn't using his hindi diction to mock somebody. Manu is a loser and needs to be voted out soon.

I found Jason in every way better than this Manu.. Somewhere when Manu mocking him.. I felt him insecure of the new arrival.. Maybe a this was his so called reaction.. Because we all know .. These low standard type reactions is always given by him .. Just to make him look that he doesn't care..

What I find funny is when there were polls on this forum even before the actual entry of the wildcard winners, the winner of that poll was Jason... wonder why 😆. Surely we are not a biased superficial pseudo-sophisticated, firangi-obsessed nation now, are we?

Sick of hearing "Gora" n "Gori" 🤢🤢🤢...can't he address dem wid deir names n all dose present dere n laughing while he mocked dem were equally at fault too 😡

That said, accents have often been matter of ridicule. Indian (Punj, Mallu, Tamil, Hariyanvi etc.) Arab, Chinese (and so many more) accents have been butts of jokes by even international stand-up guys.

Why, even Vidya Balan mocked Katrina's accent, that too in front of Salman. What exactly are you guys going to call Vidya now?

And compared to the vapid viper attacks by Babaji this season, Manu is nothing- he's not mocking Jason, but the accent. Babaji, as entertaining he might be, has lowered the benchmark by several seasons. Women in earlier seasons, unlike Mona would have thrown off their mikes and demanded Babaji's ouster, if they were deliberately scandalised thus.

I agree I see hypocrisy and double standard all around. Manu gets targeted more because of people's nonsensical bias toward him and bashing him any chance they get. I guess Vidya is a loser too right guys? 😆

Many in India do not even realise they are being racists and hurl downright offensive terms like KALLU, HABSHI on Africans studying / working in India, while less harmless but equally wrong GORA / GORI terminology for Caucasians.

It's absolutely disgusting.That whole conversation was so ignorant and vile.But what's more horrifying is that such behavior is deemed normal by many watching/not watching bb.What's more horrifying is others who label themselves as the elitist s and the "educated"celebs were laughing on a woman. What's most horrifying is that all these things which actually matter , that need to be discussed,that need to be pointed out as wrong would never be talked about by the host.The people speaking shit won't be reprimanded which gives them a free pass to continue to showcase their utterly racist behavior in the name of being " India waale".

I think I have heard this as being called reverse racism? But I have a doubt really. If a bunch of white people make fun of a brown or black person and imitate her way of talking, why is it offensive? I believe it is offensive because those people think the brown or black person is inferior to them. When they call names to a black person for his colour, it is meant as an insult because they think to be white is preferable.
