Shetty speaks of Brother 'racism'

Shetty, 31, is an award-winning Bollywood actress

Shilpa's mother Celebrity Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty has spoken for the first time of her fears she is a victim of racism.
After a row over stock cubes, the actress was comforted by fellow housemate Cleo Rocos who said: "I don't think there's anything racist in it."
But Shetty said: "It is, I'm telling you." Channel 4 has insisted there has been "no overt racial abuse".
Chancellor Gordon Brown, on a visit to India, condemned anything that went against British "tolerance".
Channel 4 and TV regulator Ofcom have had more than 21,000 complaints about the treatment of Shetty.
Housemate Danielle Lloyd said she thought the actress should go home, a statement she later said that she regretted.
Channel 4 said: "To date there has been no overt racial abuse or racist behaviour directed against Shilpa Shetty within the Big Brother house.
"However there has undoubtedly been a cultural and class clash between her and three of the British females in the house."
The statement added that housemates had constant access to support from Big Brother, and Shetty had "not voiced any concerns of racial abuse".

overall big brother was very contraversial and it created lots of people to get very upset over the topic of racism. channel 4 were to blame but i think they couldnt do anything about the fact that jade is stupid. shipla is too nice and it was obviously racism.
