Before we knew who was going in I suspected a strict muslim might be going in, who didn't know that homophobia is looked down on these days. But Farida doesn't seem like a lady who was raised in a strict household, and she's a makeup artist to boot - I doubt that area is especially devoid of the gays

Could be one of the Welshies? If they were raised in a homogeneous environment of an isolated village, they could have been around casual racism?

it would depend on who you think is the arbiter of what is acceptable

extreme people on X ?

According to social media the scouse lad has a touch of the phobics to him

i think there are quite a few of them in there that are likely to have "alternative" views. That's one of the reasons i think it's a good cast

I heard that! Will be interesting to see if he lets anything slip.

He wouldn't even have the "excuse" of his background, he just seems like a normalish bloke from a big city, so if the social media reporting is accurate, he's not the product of a sheltered or religious upbringing, he's just a bigot.

That must be intentional on bb’s part because the application asks that you list all your social media accounts

Think this is just standard EDI speak really rather than being targeted at anyone specific

That post you quoted describes thought Police education camps. Training how to think a certain way.

I don't necessarily disagree, the wording sounds like "this person might be homophobic due to their background, so bear that in mind" rather than the preferred "It's the twenty-first century, we're in a western country, gay people exist, get a grip"

Haha yess. He was brave to even admit he’s a conservative voter, and i don’t tend to judge someone right off the bat for their political views, let’s get to know the guy

I think the elderly essex lady who is high up in the NHS organisation departments might show some casual racism by inadvertently thinking yinrun is beneath her.

I assume you mean Chanelle then, seen as the other 'welshie' is gay himself . Apparently it's Paul who's said stuff on tiktok or something.

You can be gay while also being racist.

My thread was more about HMs who might have grown up in an environment which leads them to not how being an istaphobe isn't acceptable, rather than not liking a group of people due to bigotry.

If what people are saying about Paul is true, being a young chap in a city, he'd have no excuse. But if Whatshisface grew up in an isolated village where everybody is quarter-sheep, he might have grown up around racists, and not know it's bad in the same way most people do. If Farida had grown up a strict muslim, she might not realise homophobia isn't accepted.

But neither seems to be the case.
