While that might not be seen as straight racism by some people and it is almost probably the product of ignorance, jealousy and bullying, the fact is they are still using the girls race to insult and undermine her.
That's what's getting up some people's noses.

I've missed very little actually. Immitating someone's accent, is in my book, not racist. It's bullying, pure and simple. After all Shilpa herself has on more than one occasion took the micky out of Jade's appalling Mockney Estuary English.
Is that to be seen as prejudiced against the mentally challenged?
