A lot of the external fuss about possible racism was about Jackiey referring - on her exit - to Shilpa as 'the Indian'. She made no pretence of liking Shilpa on a personal level - but for the following reasons, she was at that point really confused as to how to refer to Shilpa.

To anyone watching - it was obvious from early on that Jade's mother and the a certain extent Jade herself had a problem hearing or grasping the meaning and with pronouncing certain words. A point that the housemates were just starting to understand how to deal with - when Jade's mum was evicted.

Hence Jackiey's question about what a 'dimella' was.

It was obvious that she also had difficulty in hearing and pronouncing Shilpa's name. Choosing instead to call her 'princess'. A term - that when used as it was by Jackiey, without any intentional irony - few would object to.

For it is now overlooked that Shilpa did get very angry with this (if not in isolation). And despite being aware by this time that Jackiey had a genuine problem with hearing and pronouncing this name - insisted that Jackiey used her name and stopped adressing her as princess (but did not object in the same way when others address or referred to her as this).

The makers cannot just see prejudice and bullying only on grounds of race in one direction only) as unaccepatable. Are not other grounds, such as class, sex and mental ability etc equally unacceptable?

The subsequent spats were not racist or any other kind of bullying.

What we saw was simply the usual 'bitching'. Which when left alone from outside pressure and judgement - the participants will sort out for themselves. As they usually do - and as they largely did in this instance also.
