Big Brother identifies division between 'Race' and 'Social Class'

Uncle Joe | 18.01.2007 01:28 | Analysis | Anti-racism | Workers' Movements

Upper class Hindu, Shilpa Shetty, attacks working class British as inferior

Shetty identifies herself as superior to working class English, in alliance with Jermaine Jackson, regarding the English working class as "white-trash" - a blatantly racist and racialist comment.

To quote Shetty "If this is what the UK is coming to, then I feel sorry for them".

The caste system has been a mainstay of Indian culture for thousands of years and now it is being brought to Britain.

Under the guise of political correctness, the Liberal establishment including Gordon Brown and David Cameron see fit to attack the working-class English as racist for challenging an Upper-class Indian women for her condescending and patronising manner.

During late 2006, thousands of lower-caste Indians converted to Christianity in a bid to overcome the class prejudices of the likes of Shetty, because the caste (class) system is an integral part of the Hindu way of life.

The middle class media have jumped on the bandwagon to show their liberal, middle class, establishment values.

Big Brother producers are lapping it up as ratings have gone through the roof with yet another BB controversy infecting the House of "Commons". Millionaire parasites such as Keith Vaz have raised the issue in the Commons due to massive complaints, when in fact the instigator of most controversy is Shetty herself.

Surely the opportunists and parasites of the SWP might have something to say about this, however it appears that the hypocrite Galloway is only interested when his Muslim voters are involved.

The Maoist insurgency continues in India against the parasitic, ruling class, Indian establishment and long may it continue.

NOMOOR Big Brother

18.01.2007 04:07

The TV programme Bog Brother is, and always has been, a toilet tv production for people and about people with nothing much but shit and piss in their heads.
Made by Morons for morons, for, I think, unfortunately, about nine years or so.
When egos and morons meet, you get.........well, EGOMORONS, which..........is what you have!

When I had the misfortune to see the very first lot.......about nine years ago, I think, I thought,
"What on earth are these creatures here? They are NOT REAL people, they can only be actors/tresses?"

If there is a GOD, or Gods(including one of terrestrial and digital television), then may GOD help us ALL ........to a better life away from television, tossers and televisiontossers.

I don't even watch the programme and I can smell the shit!

whilst there is a degree of class conflict going on here and obvioulsy the contestents dont get on, making accusations based on the colour of someones skin or where they come from is racist. They would not have said the same things to a white british or american actress so once again it was racist bile
We all hate the caste system but just cos the indian women is posh doesnt mean we should expect her to sit back and take the kind of vile,ignorant abuse we have heard directed at here.
And to be honest i agree. if the british public is becoming like jade and the other morons who took part then i feel sorry for the country to.

Has Uncle Joe got a job with Big Brother?

In reality, this is yet another Big Brother let's-offend-political-correctness set up. Except, they badly miscalculated. Big Brother deny racism and insist it's about class and 'catty' women. No doubt, they worked out this line before they set it all up. But given the fuss around the world, BB is looking silly.

BB probably detected racism in the women and figured they could capitalise on it. The women probably would have been more mild or dropped the anti-Indian attacks altogether, but, I reckon, Big Brother quietly encouraged it. BB calculated that there were a lot of white people of all classes who "abhor" and are "fed up" with political correctness and would cheer on the white women on. They also knew that many white people who be totally embarassed and that Asians would be seething. Good row for the ratings and they could pretend the racism wasn't their idea. They can't turn around and attack Jade and co now.

They did not know that Gordon Brown would be in India trying to make out how 'tolerant' Britain is so he can flog some useless, broken-dwon missiles, tanks and fighter jets. Doh!!!

Some people try to defend the racism on the basis that Shilpa is a stuck up so and so. She may be. But why not attack her for being a stuck up so and so? Why attack her because she's Indian and, apparently, eats with hands, as if we all don't. And the idea they would attack a posh white women by saying she was from Surrey or.attack a posh woman by attacking her Jewishness, well, need I say more?

I listened to a Radio 5 Live phone-in on Wednesday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, it was, "we shouldn't take these moaning Asians too seriously - political correctness gone mad!!" On Wednesday it was, "the loud-mouth traitor Jade is making Britain look racist around the world and messing up our trade deals, stop her!!!" But there's a lesson for us there somewhere.

India - confident, proud and looking down on YOU !!!

My My the readers of Indymedia are really showing their feelings now aren't they. Of course Indians are fine when they can be looked down upon by the Leftist intelligensia that is the Indymedia UK Kollective by just as soon as one of these so called 'developing nation' citizens points out the facts of the world and does it in an erudite confident way the Notting Hill Left gets on its soap box.

Well I'm sorry Indymedia UK editors but Indian people don't need your patronising support or advice, we already have the world's largest democracy and we will soon be the world's most populated country and we've achieved it without the help of Middle Class socialist like you !
