Jade Goody Cannot Find Soil under Her Feet

Jade Goody, one of the tormentors accused of alleged racism to Shilpa Sheety in the reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, has no soil in her feet as her popularity among the people has been drastically reduced after the row on racism. In her last appearance in the show after the news of her eviction came out, she could hardly stop her crying. The Hindu reported:


I look like a complete and utter nasty small person — the sort of person I don't like myself," she said but denied allegations of racism. "I am not a racist and I sincerely, with my hand on my heart, apologise to anyone I have offended out there," she added sounding intensely contrite in a replay of her kiss-and-make-up conversation with Ms. Shetty earlier in the day after it became certain that, come evening, and she would be out.

Her act of contrition was seen as a desperate attempt to save her career after a perfume named after her was removed from shops and she feared losing more sponsors. "I don't know what to do," she said in between sobs.

Jade Goody is reported a villain in the newspapers and people are not likely to support her on the racism issue as many Briton think that this kind of activities can not be of modern Britain.

The report said:

Jade lurches from hero to zero" declared The Times amid a continuing torrent of condemnation of her behaviour towards Ms. Shetty. A poll in The Guardian showed that 55 per cent of the people believed that her conduct was "not typical of modern Britain."

There was also widespread criticism of Channel 4 for standing by and watching as Ms. Shetty was subjected to racist bullying. More than half of those polled said the channel had "engineered the clashes to gain viewing figures.


It is a positive sign that people of Britain have protested against the racism row. However, I think, enough has been talked about on the issue and now it is time to turn the issue out of the window as Shilpa herself has said that it is a result of misunderstanding.
