Police investigation as Ofcom Report confirms Racism in Celebrity Big Brother 2007

According to the BBC Shetty confided in fellow housemate Cleo Rocos that she feared the arguments between Goody, O'Meara, Lloyd and herself was the result of her race. After being told by Cleo that this was unlikely, Shilpa retorted by saying "It is, I'm telling you". Shilpa did not lodge an official complaint of racist behaviour to Big Brother.^[10] Yet Shetty's admission has forced police to investigate whether or not to classify her treatment as 'racial hatred' under Part III of the Public Order Act 1986.

"Investigating allegations of racist behaviour in the Big Brother house and will be conducting enquiries, including a review of the tapes. We will continue to liaise with Ofcom and with Endemol, whom we have strongly encouraged to ensure that any form of behaviour that could raise similar concerns, does not occur. We will continue to closely monitor the situation over the next few days. Hertfordshire Constabulary will not tolerate racism in any form and is taking these allegations seriously.

However, Shetty was unaware of all the alleged insults levelled against her, often done behind her back at that time.

The belief was those who looked alike were derived from a common ancestor (like the children of a big family looking like their 2 common parents). In Europe the people of the World divided in to 4 or in some cases 5 categories, based on skin colour and to a degree the shape of the face as well. The categories were as follows, by Victorian times- White skinned= White/European (eg- English, Russians and Dutch). Suntanned/Olive skinned= Middle Eastern (eg-Arabs and Afghans ). Yellow skinned and slant eyed= Amerindians, Chinese and Japanese ). Brown skinned= Indic/Indian (eg- Pakistani ). Black skinned and flat nosed= Black/Negroid/Negro (eg- Yorubas ). A supposed 'Turkish' nose and a 'Jewish' nose could be theoretically taken as proof of Gypsies , who were considered part of the 'Indic' race. The Aborigines of Australia were generally thought of as isolated and unrelated groups that had divided off early humans much earlier on in evaluation. By about the First World War the scientifically inclined Europeans were sub-dividing the 'White race' in to 3 or 4 supposed sub-races, which were- Blond hair, white skinned, blue or grey eyes= Swedish and Dutch) Dark haired/ white skinned, brown eyed= Alpine (eg- Russians, Romanians, English and Welsh). Dark haired, suntanned/olive skinned, brown eyed, normal nose= Mediterranean European (eg- Italians and Mediterranean people. Red hair, suntanned/olive or white skinned, brown or green eyes= Anglo-Celtic/Gaelic (eg- Scots, Irish and Dutch. There was much prejudice based upon this perception of the world as the Europeans and Orientals both regarded them selves as superior to the other skin colours. This all lead to racism, a non-scientific theory, or Japanese imperialism . The mid 20th century racial classification by American anthropologist Carleton S. Coon, divided humanity into five races: Caucasoid (White) race Negroid (Black) race Capoid (Bushmen/Hottentots) race Mongoloid (Oriental/ Amerindian) race Australoid (Australian Aborigine and Papuan) race In his landmark book Caucasian Race as encompassing the regions of Europe, Central Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Northeast Africa.[12] His work drew some charges of obsolete thinking or outright racism from a few critics, but some of the terminology he employed continues to be used even today, although the "-oid" suffixes now have in part taken on negative connotations.[13] In the 21st-Century, Coon's role came under further critical scrutiny when Prof. John P Jackon Jr, noted that the American Coon, "actively aided the segregationist cause in violation of his own standards for scientific objectivity."[14]. In the late culturally superior people. By the late 19th century, some Europeans began to use the name Aryan for only the Nordic peoples of Europe (one branch of the Indo-European peoples), as a "pure," "noble" and racially "superior" race they claimed were descended from the original Aryan tribes. The theory that the Aryans first came from Alpine Europe became especially popular in Germany and to a lesser degree in Austria, Switzerland and Hungary . There was much prejudice based upon this perception of the world as the Europeans and Orientals both regarded them selves as superior to the other skin colours, which lead to the horrors of African Japanese imperialism. The accidental misinterpretation of the works of Charles Darwin (known as Darwinism ) only helped to fuel the non-scientific opinions of 'race' and 'racial superiority'. Genetics and haplogroups In genetic populations '. In matrilineal line, from mother to daughter. In theory the children of even a big family all share the DNA of their 2 common parents. All of these DNA haplogroup molecules are part of the bigger ancestral haplogroup, but at some point in the past a mutation occurred in the ancestral molecule, mutation A, which produced a new lineage this is haplogroup A and is defined by it's mutation as mutation A. At some more recent point in the past, a new mutation, mutation B, occurred in a person carrying haplogroup A; mutation B defined haplogroup B. Haplogroup B is a subgroup, or subclade of haplogroup A; both haplogroups A and B are subgroups (subclades) of the ancestral haplogroup and so on. For example- Korean males display a 35% frequency of the Haplogroup C3. Haplogroup C4 is the predominant male lineage among the indigenous Australians . Theoretically, Genetic drift is the random change in gene frequencies between generations, but, a few individuals may leave behind more descendants and thus genes than other individuals. The genes of the next generation will be the genes of these “lucky” individuals' children, not necessarily the healthier or “better” individuals' children. Social Darwinism, intelligence (IQ) and race Social Darwinism' refers to various ideologies based on a concept that competition is active among all individuals, or even whole nations as social evolution in human societies.[15] It is a social adaptation of the theory of natural selection as first invented by Charles Darwin. Natural selection explains success in various animal populations as the outcome of competition between any individual organisms for limited resources popularly known as "survival of the fittest", a term first used by either Herbert Spencer, or Andrew Carnegie. Fascist movements have commonly held social darwinist views of nations, races, and societies.[16] Italian Fascist Alfredo Rocco shortly after World War I claimed that conflict was inevitable in society: Conflict is in fact the basic law of life in all social organisms, as it is of all biological ones; societies are formed, gain strength, and move forwards through conflict; the healthiest and most vital of them assert themselves against the weakest and less well adapted through conflict; the natural evolution of nations and races takes place through conflict. Alfredo Rocco[17] disabled people . It was believed until recently that race and IQ were connected. The fact that environment, such as schooling, food content and alcohol consumption/boozing has a significant effect on IQ undermines the case for the use of IQ data as a source of genetic information [19][20] [19][20] . This prejudice was partially applied in Europe and the USA to both- the Native American Indians, Blacks, Gypsies, Albanians, Italians, Turkish Cypriots, Slavic Russians and Russia's Chechens tribes. Racism, colonialism and African slavery When Europeans came to America, they killed thousands of Native Americans and when the European settlers got to Australia, they started killing of large numbers of Aborigines. In both cases, they regarded the native people as predestined to be inferior and not worth helping. This view was based on the Europeans' opinions on Darwinism and how it could be used to judge the value of the native peoples. With the birth of their empires, many other native tribes suffered in Sub-Saharan Africa, Canada, New Zealand, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. a Relatively small numbers of White settlers and British (then including Irish) convicts attacked and removed Aboriginal populations from the South Eastern parts of Australia [21] . crime against humanity ! The African-American people and some others call this "The Black Holocaust ". Japan also held similar beliefs about Chinese and Koreans in their colonies. Racism in World war 2 The 'Aryan nations'. For the main articles see- Austrofascism . Alleged scientific findings of racial differences were used by Magyars matched the Nazi racial ideal and were used as proof that Hungary was a Teutonic and Aryan nation, like Germany, Sweden , etc. The POWs were killed by the German troops. prisoners of war by German military personnel. About 12 million, most of whom were forced labor in Germany during World War II.[27]. The Nazis regarded Slavs as disposable slave labour and "cattle on two legs", which were only of being worked to death if not shot where they stood. The anti-Semitic Krupki massacre, in Byelorussia serves as an example of how Germany treated it's racial enemies. neo-fascist Swiss Democrats . The SD is amongst both the oldest the lest successful of Europe's far right parties. Both Aryanism and the WW2 flirting with the far right. The German National Democratic Party and Swedish National Democrats are a modern example of this. They also play on the partly true, but over stated, claims that 'to many' foreigners are 'flooding' into their countries. Both parties are affiliated to the U.K.'s British National Party . For the main article see- Sweden during World War II. Sweden was another country that once considered it's self to be part of the 'Aryan belt' and of Aryan racial stock. The most virulent form was in the form of a informal breading program to reduce more 'Aryans' and less 'Laps', along with some intermittent and/or indirect help for Nazi Germany during World War 2. While it became a haven for refugees from Norden and the Baltic states, and Swedes were involved in rescuing Scandinavian victims of internment camps." --- Nordstrom, p. 318: "By late 1943 Sweden was a haven for some 11,000 refugees from Denmark, including over 7,000 Danish Jews, and about 30,000 Norwegians."---> Nevertheless, internal and external critics have argued that Sweden could have done more to resist the Nazi war effort, even if risking occupation.[28]. Sweden had to play a careful balancing game between the opposing forces throughout the war. 175px|thumb|right|The Nationaldemokraterna party logo.

Up to 8 million of the estimated 16 million native inhabitants died between 1885 and 1908 [56] According to the former British diplomat Roger Casement, this depopulation had four main causes: "indiscriminate war", starvation, reduction of births and diseases.[57] Sleeping sickness ravaged the country and must also be taken into account for the dramatic decrease in population.
