I really couldn't care less, but.......

I would never watch "Big Brother" from choice, but when I visit my children, they invariably have it on, so I have been drawn into this discussion about the way this Bollywood actress is being treated. The burning question seems to be - is it racist or not? From what I saw the other night, there are definitely racist overtones, but the over-riding motivation of those who are having a go at her seems to me to be simple envy. They don't like her because she's classy - something they will never be, and are therefore jealous of. Of course, as a result of the furore, the viewing figures are going through the roof, so could it all be a put-up job that perhaps has got somewhat out of hand?
