The "Big Brother" house sounds a lot like a breeding ground for racism ... a white houseguest is in hot water after a racially charged joke about an Asian houseguest was caught on camera. In a clip that was captured on the live feed inside the 'BB21' house this week, you hear Jack Matthews crack a joke about "rice pudding" in reference to Isabella Wang, who is Asian. The other houseguests who heard the joke -- they are all white, BTW -- don't seem at all bothered by the clearly racist reference ... but people on social media are OUTRAGED. In another clip captured on the live feed this week, you hear Jack talking about his "rice pudding" comment with another houseguest ... and it seems pretty clear Jack got a stern talking to from show producers. However, he says his joke was misconstrued ... he doesn't explain how. It's another example of what people are calling rampant racism in the 'BB' house ... former houseguest Kemi Fakunle, who is black, says she was "disgusted by the behavior" in the house ... and some viewers have pointed out 3 minority houseguests got the boot on the same night.

The Asian chick got evicted this week so just one minority left in the house now.

Thanks for the context, cause I'm clearly supposed to know why "rice pudding" is so offensive.

Probably the stereotype that Asians eat a lot of rice.

Which is a pretty harmless joke all things considered, but also one of those kinds of jokes you only make with someone you have good rapport with and you know wont take offense to it. >_>

If that's the actual reason, then this is just manufactured outrage.

the hell... given how prevalent it is in this part of the world(scandinavia) especially as part of the holidays i would associate rice pudding as a "caucasian" food item regardless of its name.

He wasn't associating. He didn't like her so he made a joke at her expense and chose to make it about race. You don't watch the show so you don't have the context, but that's what it was.

lmao imagine actually watching such lowbrow tripe as Big Brother in the year of our lord 2019

but you got to feel superior to some rando on an internet message board because you have the context, that's all that matters, right?


I'm not feeling anything. I'm tempted to stop watching it because of how lowbrow it is now. It used to be relatively decent years ago. People used to have interesting things to say as the game progressed. Now they just make people overact and feed them shit tier one liners which would be bad enough if they didn't also instruct them to over-dramatize. I don't know why I still watch it.

I explained the context behind the incident. What the fuck are you vomiting all over your keyboard about with that 2nd paragraph? You're still mad about the trans topic aren't you?

He's trolling. That's all he does. Just ignore him. He wants to get into an argument with you because that's how he interacts with others. Don't engage with that behavior and eventually he'll learn to be normal.

The only time theyre fed one liners of when theyre alone with the camera. The rest of the time they dont over dramatize anything. If you watch the feeds it all feels completely natural, things just seem overly dramatic in the tv episode edits which are a bad representation of what the show is actually like

Survivor has always been the best reality show

I tried getting into it a year or two ago but it seemed lame to me. Its called survivor but none of the challenges seem intense or make me feel like they need to fight for survival. Everything looks so streamlined and clean and the challenges are random crap like solving puzzles using blocks lol. And the drama isnt that trashy so it doesnt keep you hooked against your will like other reality shows

Why do you think you're breaking anything to me?

How familiar with it are you exactly? Just for context behind this post.

Him learning to be normal would be of no consequence or interest to me really, but I appreciate your addressing of the matter.
