Jade The Bigot

Believe it or not, some people are STILL going on about the whole Big Brother Jade vs. Shilpa episode. Consider this piece of invective from the Sunday Mirror.

Now, there are many reasons to dislike Jade Goody. But this racism stuff has gone past the point where anyone should care. She has apologised for her actions; leave her alone - pity her if you must, but stop exhaling precious breath on an incident which is long gone, and does not prove anything except how uneducated and uncultured the woman is - something we all knew anyway. Take a lesson from how Shilpa Shetty herself dealt with the incident: with dignity and forgiveness.

Meanwhile, as I predicted when I first posted this, the question of whether Miss Shetty is in fact also a racist (and I don't believe she is) has never received the same media attention.
