Just because what Bani did was wrong it doesn't mean that what Manu did is right.😕



You seem to have a tendency to put words in people's mouths for the wrong reasons. Not once did I comment on whether he was right or wrong in doing so. However like some others+ housemates I find it quite funny. I can guarantee Jason himself wouldnt take it as seeiously as this biased Manu haterade drinking forum does.

Go to the hood in compton, CA in the 60s and you will know then what racism really means opposed to this tame little mock in fun.

He is always mocking and imitating people. Every time I find him cheap. The thing is BB and Salman is not saying anything to him and he thinks whatever he is doing is so damn right. If he wasn't BB would have told him. He even said that the other day.

@xPalkix - I think many people have watched Modern Family, which is an American series. Sofia Vergara's character speaks with an accent and it gets made fun of. Nobody is called racist because of that. So, let's not generalise that outside India this would never happen etc.

I do agree though that it would have been better if Manu joked about it in front of Jason cuz that would make sure that he is just having fun.

Whether Gora-Gori is really objectionable is debatable. Atleast for me, for the reasons I stated in my original post. The example you have given for Big Brother is not relevant here cuz I did say that if a "have" says something objectionable about a "have-not" then it seems more offensive than the other way around.


It's the mocking tone which makes it racist. I never said outside India this would never happen 😕
It does but if it does then actions would be taken swiftly. That's the difference.

I don't think calling someone black or white is racist either. You call potato potato. But if you know someone's name then why would you continue calling them gora? Just find that weird.
And btw I really don't agree with your explanation because that in itself is not judtified for me. For me, it implies as if Indian people feel less than white people and vice versa. Sorry but I absolutely do not agree with that. Many people think each other as equal.

Btw I give Manu the benefit of doubt, he might not have meant it in a bad way but I certainly did think he did at first.

If taken in context, Manu was definitely being a racist. Turn the tables, if Manu was in a western bigg boss and a couple of white guys did the same to him, there would have been a reaction not just from the Indian audience but also from the western audience who are very sensitive to this sort of a behavior.
I hope the producers take a stand and a warn Manu. I for one am against any race, ethnicity, gender and physical appearance related bullying. If he does not get a warning, I will have to stop watching (and I don't want to, this season is really good).

It was mocking and not in a good taste. The purpose here was to mock and whats with identifying a person with their color.
If Jason had even once called Manu, kaalu or brown , I am pretty sure half of the forum and BB , Salman would have questioned him on the same.

Unfortunately its pretty much evident in India and people don't even understand that some of their statements are racist in nature like I know many of them who call and make fun of people who are dark. Its shown in Bollywood movies most of the time

Oh come on guys I agree most of us hate that gunda gang but what Manu did was not wrong in my opinion they were just having fun making fun of that Dhongi baba rather than Jason

So you cant stop thinking aboit Manu to a point you made an account dedicated to Manu. Haters cant get him out of their mind.

Well going Manu.


Forget about the haters...can you please explain why was Manu calling Jason "Gora" repeatedly and imitating his accent?
Instead of being disappointed with racist Manu, I cant believe that you are bashing the person who points out racism on this forum 😡 and you also support Manu by saying Well going !!

I want Vidya Balan to be chargesheeted and behind bars for being outright racist and offending and outright annoying, not to mention pathetic against Katrina first. That too in front of Salman! How dare she imitate that accent! Like, how dare! 😡 😡
How can such racist behaviour be allowed on TV? 😡

Edit: I also propose nationwide censorship against all bollywood songs with the word "gori" in them. If the female actor in these songs happen to be gori, then the film's producer, the singer, lyricist etc will warrant arrest.

Most importantly, Salman almost always has white-skinned female dancers whom he refers to by multiple appendages. They are often racist, male chauvinist and cheap 😡😡. I want Big Boss to intervene on this as well.

I would also like a professor from JNU to educate the classes, the masses, the Bigg Boss in-housers and out-housers on reverse racism.

Finally, put Manu behind bars for making the inmates and us laugh heartily with his extremely offensive stand-up 😡

Also, can we have Bigg Boss on the curriculum for an undergrad university course titled Racism in India: Goras, Goris and Fair & Lovely? 😳
