Ally Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I had no idea jade was "mixed race". Mixed species seems far more plausible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorrie-Anne Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Im jst making the point that some people might see this as a racist comment due to jades mixed race and her being refered to being a 'mix' o animals rather that what she actually is. for examlpe is all mixed race people a mix of species or only jade?

Fjool Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 for examlpe is all mixed race people a mix of species or only jade? Only Jade. She's a law (of nature) unto her own. Although, without going too far off topic, there have been serious suggestions that anthropologically we are all a mix of species. It might be that Neanderthals were not wiped out by Homoerectus, but were actually interbred and have become part of what is currently the human race.

Fjool, don't let allahisamoongod hear wind of this. You'll be burned at the stake for heresy talking of evil evolution! *spit* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawb Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I agree it's a bit strong to be accusing Jade Goody of racism (after all she is herself mixed race). I have to admit to being entirely ignorant of the subject under discussion here, but that strikes me as an odd thing to say Strawb. What makes a person of mixed race any less prone to racism than anybody else? Indeed yes, I'm not one of those people who thinks it's only white people who suffer the ignorance of being racist, and I do not mean that being mixed race is likely to make Jade less racist. Though I believe she herself was racially abused as a kid, and I would sincerely hope this would make her less likely to attack someone in the same vein. Though I may well be wrong.

Jonners Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I can't wait for the show tonight! It's going to be compelling stuff. I think the fact no crowd will greet the evicted person means there will be a weird eerie atmosphere. I'm also wondering how tough Davina will be on Jade - presuming it is her that gets the heave-ho.

Only if you're the kind of person that views the "PC" world as a minefield of potential faux pas, like some bad version of David Brent, rather than grasping the obvious (at least to me) definition of racism.

Fair enough Strawb. That just goes to show how little I know about it all. I think I'll just keep out of it from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 For what it's worth, I don't think she's particularly racist, just totally ignorant. Jaysus, why am I even talking about her? 'tis a mad world, right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner72 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 On da contrary, she has seemed all through it ta be da only wan in da hoose wi a grasp o da situation, despite all dir attempts dey couldna edit dat oot! However, its aa ida past noo, an i dunno how mony o you watched da show, but if some o wir politicians hed half da dexterity an ability tae answer questions she does, da world wid be a better place. Interestin tae see 3 total mis-quotes in da first news headline efter it. Da really worryin issue is da absolute DESPERATION o wir media tae cause a fuss an mak up a story when da opposite is actually da truth. It truely maks you winder aboot anything you see in da "news" efter dis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
