All Created Less Equal

In a recent article posted, Jan. 17, by New York Times writer, Alan Cowell, reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother," is sparking up issues of racism and confusion of social class. The show which airs in London includes one of India's finest. A local movie star by the name of Shilpa Shetty who is claiming that her fellow British contestants strongly dislike her, her cooking, and her so -called white tendencies. These negative acclaims have even caused Britain's soon to be prime minister, Gordon Brown to comment, who would like Britain not to be viewed in such an unfair light.

They call them reality TV shows, yet how much of it is staged? For a show whose ratings were falling until such news you really must question the truth behind such allegations. And we are all aware that no matter what country racism exists and always will. My view on this is frank. Open the door and air out whatever stinch may be hidden. The best way to face a problem is to face it head on. Racism is alive and man will always rank himself higher than the next. That's reality, right?
