From what I saw, it's a couple of rough western birds jealous of the classy, slinky asian bird in their house.
But maybe I'm a little biased towards "asian birds".;)



Now I'm not usually a bird sorta guy, but as you mentioned slinky I have to say Shilpa is pretty. Last week in India my work colleagues and I debated whether she was a A-list star, conclusion was top 20 ...

I cannot comment on whether it is racist - like many I simply don't watch it. I could easily be convinced that the programme makers are making something out of nothing however, for PR. That said, there is a serious angle, and that is the British are getting a lashing in the Indian press, and that could potentially have some consequences. So if C4 and Endemol are p*****g about they ought to be aware of what they're doing?

If this has been turned into a PR stunt by Channel 4 then it isn't working too well, Carphone Warehouse have just announced they are pulling their sponsorship of the show.( Sky News story here)

Well said GJ.

Is it race, or is it class?
Foul mouthed Essex hairdresser or eloquent Indian film star?

I know which I prefer... At least I could get a hair cut and talk football ;)

Yes, I fear that we may have given her far more attention than she deserves.;)
