Evict Shilpa!

With the Big Brother racism furore still raging, I thought I'd repost something I posted back in February. It pertains to the story of Shilpa Shetty, who after being picked on by Jade Goody and co was found to have once appeared in an Indian comedy sketch making fun of a man dressed in black make-up and an afro wig. So the question arises: is she a racist, too?

Back then, I wrote:

For the record I don't think this is racist, either. But it will be interesting to see whether this gets the same kind of coverage the Big Brother scandal did. My bet: NOPE.

And I was right.
