Casual racism on American Big Brother

[wub]

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 32628.html

Some of the highlights;

The main offender is Aaryn Gries, 22, a blonde Texan model who last week, for little or no reason, flipped the mattress of the sole black female housemate, Candice Stewart, and then goaded her in an apparently mocking accent, asking “What you gon’ do, girl?”

Another white contestant, Gina Marie Zimmerman (no relation), yelled, “You want the black to come out?”

Gries warned her allies to be careful of Stewart in the dark, “because you might not see the bitch,” and dismissed Asian-American contestant Helen Kim by telling her to “go make some rice”. Among other slurs, Zimmerman recently referred to welfare payments as “n****r insurance”

Who the fuck yells "go make some rice" at an Asian person

[ineffable]

I didn't even think it was still running until someone retweeted something about it the other week

but on that note, the uk bigbrother was just as racist iirc.

DISCLAIMER - the fact this Big Brother is the American version is irrelevant. The UK celebrity Big Brother a few years back was fucking diabolical with the racially overtoned bullying of Shilpa Shetty. This thread is not a dig at America or Americans.

Blimey. Someone on the production team really earned their bonus when they picked a racist called Zimmerman and put her on Big Brother. SMDH Endemol.

Shit, most things I say could probably be misconstrued as a "mocking accent", would have to see more of this one to see if it was actually racist.

The others aren't very nice though. Go make some rice can surely apply to most of the fokin world?! What a shit cuss. Eeediots.

Can expand it to different cultures

"go make some curry"
"go have a plum pudding and a warm pint of bitter"
"go eat some haggis"
"go marry your paternal cousins"
etc
etc

Challenge: Find a race we cannot stereotype adequately via culinary slurs.

Ethiopians.

They have no food man! Because they're too poor. Is that in itself not an adequate slur?

[dickman69]

slur madlibs

go (verb) a (noun)

eskimos

go eat a seal

Yes, but it's not a culinary one, which was your original challenge.

[garethom]

I'd say it's still a culinary slur. Let's say for racism's sake that they eat sand or something.

If you told an Ethiopian dude to go and cook a SANDwich, I reckon they'd be pretty offended.
