The Bollywood star – who was said to be the victim of racist bullying in the Big Brother house – starred in a TV comedy sketch, laughing at an actor with a “blacked-up” face and afro-wig on.
Black social commentator Jaye Williamson told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Maybe Shetty is the racist – mocking Africans on her TV show?
The outrage should be that people dare to cry racism on Shilpa’s behalf when she had the audacity to take part in a show that mocked Africans.”
Shilpa appeared on Asian network Zee TV’s etc music channel, laughing at the sketch which echoed the ‘Black and White Minstrel Show’, which was axed in 1978 in Britain after protests against it’s alleged racist undertones.

19 February, 2007 at 5:12 am #260067We laugh at british and american stereotypes all the time but never notice it
We laugh at humour aimed at europeans constantly
But the moment its someone none white a rather oversensitive group of minority worshippers throw their dummy out of the pram and have a tizzy fit
Its called humour, its an integral part of our british culture (yer WE have a culture too)
And where it is humour it isnt IMO racism, theres a line but an ever more clouded grey one between the two in modern PC apologetists times
Infact even the english language and how its constructed is being conveniently put aside to aid the croon of the PC pundits, as an example, if you call someone a “black xxxxxxx” irrespective of the insult that isnt in essence a racist comment, its one aimed at an individual, its an insult for one person and not a race of people
The first word is a descriptor, it identifies who the following insult is aimed at, the same way the phrase would work were the first word lanky, ginger, fat, short blonde, ginger or any other “descriptive” term
Were the phrase “all blacks are xxxxxxxx” then that WOULD be racist
I think its time people stopped being so scared of voicing opinions for fear of being called a racist, its just a word, and when its weilded by brainwashed PC types who cant spell let alone manage free thought its hardly an insult at all really IMO
