Carphone Warehouse has pulled its sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother with immediate effect as a result of the "racist" bullying of Shilpa Shetty.
It's simple. Even Shetty realises that this is not racism - it is classism. Jade Goody and the other women on the show are thick commoners; Shetty is a classy, beautiful, successful actress...they are jealous, pure and simple. Race has nothing to do with it; they might have made some racial comments, but only because they are grasping at straws and because they are so ignorant. "Do you live in a shack or a house?" is not racist; it is just pure ignorance; she genuinely doesn't know whether Indian people live in houses or shacks. Ignorance isn't a crime or an offense. End of story.
These kinds of vicious attacks happen on Big Brother all the time. So why, when they are perceived to be racist, is such a a fuss suddenly made about it?
