Incidentally, should all you white people out there be writing the word on an internet messageboard? Have you been dying your skin again, Adrian? No. I wrote "white people" as I know the ethnic and racial background of only a handful of posters to this messageboard. A

I love Grace Dent. Mainly cause she's another refugee from Cumbria, but also cause she's usually right and always funny.

I feel quite sorry for Emily. Many people do not watch Big Brother, but most will have heard or read about this incident and to them and therefore most of the nation she will forever be 'that racist girl who called a black woman the N word'. I personally would never use the word and can't believe she did, but it was obviously a horrifically misjudged joke that the nation will now read lots of odious subtexts into implicating her as a nasty piece of work when she is essentially a foolish, sheltered eejit who probably had no idea of the implications of what she is saying. There are probably a lot of white kids in this country whose only real dialog with non white people is through commercial rap music where the word is used practically as punctuation and thus they think it's fine to chuck it about like it's no big deal.
Not to generalise but every black person I personally know who watches Big Brother found it sickly funny. Emily is just a twat who doesn't understand things and at worst, completely embarrassed herself. I've yet to meet someone not on an internet messageboard who was both offended and actually saw it.

Emily is just a twat who doesn't understand things and at worst, completely embarrassed herself. According to relatives, former school mates, people on her college courses and her peers, who have admittedly sold their stories to the papers, she understands exactly the nature of what she said to Charley and has said equally offensive things to people of other races as well. Now maybe she is this poor naive country bumpkin who listens to rap music when she's having a break from her preferred choice of indie, or maybe she's actually a quite nasty spirited, vindictive and judgmental person (unlikely, because she was sweetness and light in the Big Brother house) who looks down on other people and uses words freely available in her vocab to highlight their inferiorities. If the latter is right, and she does use paki and nigger with a wild abandon, then I'd hedge a guess that she was actually racist. And I wonder if people are less outraged because the "victim" of the racial slur is so unpopular. Had she called Makosi a nigger would people still be thinking "poor daft Emily"? And I really want to know how she uses the words in every day conversation with her friends. In the pub "I need another drink. Which nigger is getting the next round". In Waitrose when her mobile rings "Hey Eleanor - whats up nigger? Do you want a lift to lacross tonight?" Eleanor in John Lewis: "Hey Emily, those skinny jeans are making you look like one fierce nigger". And the idea that forever she will be known as a racist is giving her a lot of false hope for her becoming indelible in the nation's consciousness. In three month's time no one will remember who she is. Except of course people on internet message boards. I did think about asterixing out the N word, but I think you need to see it in full to appreicate how offensive it is.

What does 'pushing it out' even mean? . Charley was saying she hoped she wasn't pregnant and Emily said she was pushing her stomach out.

I took it to mean pushing out a baby. ah, that would make sense too - I was basing it on my own paranoid younger days behaviour of 'I must be pregnant, look how far I can stick my stomach out'! Cheaper than a pregnancy test but not quite as reliable. Now I'm thinking how horrific a live BB birth would be though!

I'm sure they did a birthing on some other BB show. Perhaps Germany. They seem the type. I'm sure Geo, our BB expert will know.

Oh right, I thought it was some slang that she was using the word nigger alongside with, that makes the use of the word far more bizarre that it wasn't even like a saying or anything

Her long awaited Nuts photoshoot can be seen !here!. She came across as very naturally pretty when she was in the house but just looks like a wanton skank here. Do heterosexuals really like this sort of thing?

"You're from Bristol, do you support City or Rovers?" "Have you been partying non-stop since you got out of the house?" "You look like Peaches Geldof, can you party like her?" Nuts magazine managing to ask the really relevant questions then. Personally no, but then as soon as she said the indie comment I realised she was the kind of girl that irritates me anyway. Also the twins were already in the house so my attention had been already taken.

Nuts are obviously the only people she can make money from. Her mum was mentioned a lot in the Heat interview Emily did, saying she was a stupid girl for saying what she said, and her family were ashamed blah blah blah. You can imagine it now, "you want to get your baps out for nuts, Emily dear? I think it's a wonderful thing to put on your CV, just don't embarass me by making any racist slip-ups". Ridic.
