Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

Of course it's not racist. Homosexuals are not a race apart. It sounds like you might have a few issues yourself there.

Of course they are not a race a part. And I do not have issues. People are people whatever gender or colour. Maybe it is an interpretation on the word. I think we are closer on views than you think, maybe it is a language issue.

And even when they do it shouldn't be a problem. Soaps now and aggain do touch real issues. The homophobic Massoods are racists as well.

If you class the Masoods as homophobic, you would have to class all Muslims as homophobic

Not sure why you have to. A rose is a flower but not al fowers are roses.

Yes, I'm sorry, Dutchgirl. I apologise for my remark. I think language could be a problem here. Racism, as the word suggests, only applies to races. Homophobia, however detestable, repugnant and loathsome is not, and could never be classed as, racism.

I will agree with you however that Masood and Zainab are homophobic as are all Muslims who interpret the Qu'ran in the way they do. Sadly, many Christians are also homophobic because of their literal translation of the Bible.

I could have cried when Tanya told Cora about how she helped her dad to die. It was nice to see a different side of Cora aswell.

Last week should have been called "Tanya week". Jo Joyner carried those episodes very well, making Tanya believable and sympathetic.

A rose growing in my lawn would be a weed

Their scene in the bedroom was very well done

Was one of eastenders best scenes i think.
