It's more complex than that and I doubt it was a publicity stunt, ch4 nearly had to pull the program and if that happened they'd have lost the franchise to big brother.
You may not like it but big brother is important to ch4 and it fits in with thier goal which is to create programs which cause debate.
The comments have been blown out of proportion. Using an aspect of someones race ie the food they eat is not in my view racist, it's just abusive and bullying. Jade doesn't dislike her because of her race, she dislikes her because she's up herself. Jade has made plenty insults about other things, servants etc.
REminds me of a typical witch hunt by the papers, anything or anyone to bully. Always reminds me of the way they wrecked our millenium dome. Had it in for it from day one because they had to que and didn't get priority. Same with the royals. Hate campaigns by the press.
