I think I see what the problem is here.

This Indian star is drop-dead gorgeous and these British women (among the verbal abusers) are jealous.

""This is a racist country," she said in the Guardian newspaper. "There is almost no inter-penetration of English and Indian cultures in Britain.""

Bull. I know a Brit who's happily married to an Indian, and I understand there's been a dramatic jump in Indian-Brit intermarriage over the past few years. These women are (rightfully) threatened by more beautiful, traditional women with the kind of feminine poise and class long lost in the West.

The actress has been called a "dog", one housemate said "she makes my skin crawl"

British optometry must be as far along as their dentistry.

But, but, I thought only white conservatives Americans where racists, and that our betters in greater Europe where better than that.

Actually everyone is a racist. The only thing that changes is how we distinguish "them" vs. "us".

To me, most of the EUrinals are definitely "them".

British women are very jealous of foreign women because they are being rebuked by British men who have no problem dating and/or marrying Asian, East European, Indian and other women... anything but a high-maintenance domineering British woman.

They are livid that they are being smoked by the competition, that's all. It's just a big catfight, not racism.

If she has a tail, it is no wonder she is considered 'different'.

I hope Germaine Greer gets eaten by a shark!!.......there, I feel better now!

I'm still trying to recover from the fact that events on such a petty low life programme starring B-list (or should that be z list!) celebrities have made news around the world.

Even the PM is now involved in this international playground banter, what the hell is going on here??? I always knew liberal/leftys were dangerous people but never credited them with having the ability to send the world mad over somebody immitating someones accent, calling them a "dog" and criticising them for undercooking chicken (that's common sense surely!!).

Seriously, if this topic has now reached the shores of FR then something is wrong, very wrong! In reality this should be a NON-EVENT!! Anyway, get the lowdown and programme itself here if you really want to know what all the fuss is about!!

"I want Britain to be seen as a country of fairness and tolerance ... and anything that detracts from that, I condemn."

Well, that certainly seems fair, and tolerant.

Yep. Thanks, in part, to the Internet, the outsourcing phenomenon is rapidly extending to the world of dating and marriage, including not just India, but Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America -- and overpriced and underqualified Western women are rightfully threatened by the loss of whatever monopoly they once had. Western men seeking the feminine grace, poise, warmth and family values lost through the 1970's have a new and increasingly acessible alternative abroad.
