I find it ironic that people in Britain should complain about racist comments being thrown around in Big Brother. The reality is that there are many racist people in our society and BB (Big Brother), being a reality show, inherited the vice.
I am confused as to whether the complainers are denying the existence of racism in their country, or are they angry at BB revealing too much reality? The former claim is obviously false, as demonstrated by the participants in BB, whereas the latter is self-defeating: people watch BB because they like seeing reality on TV, but that "reality" better conform to their moral standard. Trouble is, the scenario where everyone does conform to the moral standard is not the reality. It appears those viewers are unsure of what they want to see: the whimsical actions that is reality, or the unlikely chain of events carefully crafted by storytellers.
