I guess you guys never saw Big Brother UK. Mishra is engaging in arguments as well as thinking everyone is attacking, stalking her, copying her, and what not! While with Shilpa is was very clearly racism with Jade, Jo and the other girl very clearly saying very disgusting things about Shilpa and entire of Indian community! The situation of both is NOWHERE close to one another and please, don't look for similarities in something that doesn't exist, either.
From my POV I really never counted that as her being subjected to racism. The girls were nasty to her because they didnt like her and the word that was construed as racist was Paki and POppodum if I remember...but having lived in the UK for some time I know even though Paki is supposed to be a derogatory term it is really used very easily in real life there ...much like people are calling Vida Afghani here. The thing was it was used in moments of anger and rage hence it was construed as racist. From my point point of view it was merely a case of intense dislike for Shilpa.
In a way when you go to look at it Shilpa was like te PB of this house, the know it all kinds who was very dominating about her opinions and wants and a little high and mighty, I am better than the rest of you kind of air about her - just like PB. But the thing was that - that house was filled with PM kind of people. So all of them ganged up against her and hence it looked more vicious.
And you know everyone is allowed their POVs...there are so many ppl who dont accept mine strongly - but there are ways to put it across. I am not even responding to one person who is completely rude and wont even try to understand what my POV is based on. Your sentence os "Please, don't look for similarities in something that doesn't exist, either." is again completely bossy and rude - like the PB gang to an extent - only I am right kind of thing.
Moderator has not been completely agreeing with my POV but he is putting it across so nicely and in such a polite classy way. And I am arguing back also in a very non aggressive way.
You are also welcome to put forth your point - and I completely respect anyone opinions whether I accept them or not...and I hope other people can also do the same.
