Results: Racism on CBS Big Brother!
Published on 07/03/2013
Several contestants on the Big Brother Show were caught on the live feeds making homophobic and racist comments about their fellow cast members. In one instance when making fun of an Asian-American housemate, Aaryn Gries stated “Dude, shut up, go make some rice.” The rasist comments got so bad that the Big Brother producers got on a loud speaker and warned the cast members not to use racial slurs about other housemates.
