She ain't Indian, She's a 'Bimbette'

('bimbette' - female derivative of the male 'bimbo'. If men want to have terminological monopoly, as in, for instance, their being 'managers' or 'actors', whilst women are seen as 'manager-esses' or 'act-resses', then the same ought to apply in the case of 'bimbos' and other such words which traditionally do not have a male variant.)

It is only to be expected that the statements made in Big Brother - which were allegedly racist -would be made in such a show. We must remember that such 'reality shows' do not attract those of average or above average intelligence. Thus, it is to be expected that Shilpa Shetty would be appreciated as 'the indian' since it is the most salient of features that appeals to the shallow mind - minds that would be appealed to by such shows enough to take part in it.





On another note, Shilpa cannot be considered to be truly 'Indian', as the true Indian, reared within the multi-faceted perspectival aupisces of Indian culture would naturally shun shallow rubbish like 'Big Brother'. Additionally, allegations that Shilpa wants to be 'light-skinned' would probably not be untrue given the Indian penchant for being 'fair and lovely' - well, no matter how perspectivally-rich Indians might be, one wonders why such an irrational inclination towards fairness and the tendency to equate 'fairness' with 'loveliness' still persists. Again, Shilpa cannot be considered a quintessentially 'Indian' beauty as her features are basically 'white' tinted with brown. For true 'Indian' beauties, one has to look towards south India where one may find beauties with features that are more 'full' and whose brown tint is more rich. They are also more voluptuous, more passionate in nature, more critical-minded and intellectually vibrant - not dissimilar in some respects to Italian women.

Additionally, a statement made by one of the idiots partaking, and being partaken of, in 'Big Brother' alleged that Indians were slim because they did not 'know how to cook food properly' cannot be considered racist. No culture is perfect, and culture, which is synonymous with a particular way of bringing up a person, or collective, can be flawed. However, this statement is to be expected from one who would take part in 'Big Brother' as it does not take into consideration the fact that being slim is a fad-come-lately that has its origins in the hegemony the American/Juvenile media wrecks with untoward consequences on the human persona on a global scale. If there is anything wrong with Indian cooking, it is evidenced by it generally resulting in voluptuousness or obesity - i.e. the use of ghee, amongst others, in their cooking.
