I feel that some of the comments made were terrible.
But, on the other hand, while everyone professed to be outraged, the sad truth is, is that these kind of pre-judgements are not uncommon in the UK.
In addition, the producers don't help - there are thousands of normal Asians. Last year featured Shabaz and a girl from HK (can't remember her name).
We need to stop reinforcing the stereotype, instead of encouraging it. |
I agree with you that these comments are expected from the public in UK. The girl had the right to comment on TV although it might offend someone. This show is intended to shock its audience. Any participant is expected to be attacked verbally on the show.
