Nigel Farage has caused upset on the hit reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after a discussion about cultural appropriation. The former Ukip leader sparked controversy when he argued that cultural appropriation was not wrong, leading to backlash from fans and a clash with fellow contestant Nella Rose.
Insensitive Remarks
Nigel Farage fumbled his way through a conversation about cultural appropriation, leaving Nella Rose feeling upset. The 26-year-old held her tongue as Farage expressed his belief that cultural appropriation was not a problem. The discussion arose when American actress Jamie Lynn Spears questioned why her co-stars were using a Patois twang when saying the word “water.”
Controversial Views
Jumping into the conversation, Nigel Farage argued that criticism of white people doing a black accent was unfair. He claimed that cultural appropriation was only seen as a crime when it suited others. Nella Rose challenged Farage’s statement, asking for clarification on his views.
A Discussion Gone Wrong
Nigel Farage attempted to explain his point by referring to dressing up as a Mexican at a fancy dress party. However, Nella Rose countered by saying that using someone’s culture as a costume was wrong and disrespectful. She used the example of Americans not dressing up as native Americans because it was not a joke to them.
Aftermath of the Clash
Nella Rose expressed her frustration with Nigel Farage’s comments about cultural appropriation, stating that she did not want to have anything to do with him after their discussion. She emphasized the importance of understanding the time and place for such conversations.
