The Big Brother show and all that has been going on there lately between Shetty and Goody, made me realise that even tough Indians in India and the West are equally as disgusted with the way Shetty was treated by Goody, there are differences in the way they look at things.

Most Indian people from the U.K. are far more angrier than those from India.  I was wondering why this is so.  Could it be because those who live in the U.K. have faced and do face racism day in and day out, and so find it hard to just shrug it off as just an isolated or 'dumb' issue between two women in a  rather insignificant show?  Is it easier for a peson  who lives in India, to not be as offended and outraged as those in the U.K. because (after all) it does not affect them directly and infact racism from white people is not something they themselves are ever likely to come across anyway?  Whilst their counterparts in the U.K. know that what happened in Big Brother is but the tip of the iceburg and realise that such issues will simply not just go away unless dealt with.  Indeed perhaps this show has highlighted a much bigger problem in the British society of today that needs to be addressed?  

Any idea or opinions on this?
