Indian cricket boss bans black dancers


A HUGE race row has broken out in India after two black British cheerleaders were called "n*****s" and BANNED from performing at a cricket spectacular.

Dancers Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson were stopped by an Indian organsier as they were about to go on stage.

Ellesha, 22, told The Sun: “An organiser pulled us away. He said the people here don’t want to see dark people. The n ***** word was used and they said they only wanted beautiful white girls.”

Sherinne, 25, added: “This kind of thing has never happened to us – not in Europe, not here, nowhere.”

The girls were among 12 dancers who arrived a month ago for a stadium tour to promote the big-money India Premier League Twenty20 tournament.

The disgraceful snub came ahead of Kings XI Punjab’s opening match at Mohali. The girls claim they were barred by a staff member from pre-match show organisers Wizcraft International Entertainment. Ellesha, of Islington, North London, said: “We were crying. I could understand if it were the crowd but they were very receptive.”

The tournament has attracted stars from across the world, including Aussies Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne. The row has hit the front pages in India and been on all the news channels.

It comes a year after Jade Goody sparked an international incident over comments about Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother. Sherinne, of Hayes, West London, said: “We were offended. This shouldn’t be happening – especially after they made such a fuss over Big Brother.”

A spokesman for Wizcraft said: “Our employees are trained to deal with our international clients. If there had been any racial discrimination, I would have received a complaint. But I know nothing of it.”

Why did these ladies take that gig?

Why the hell would any black person want to go to Indian and perform for those idiots anyway? Performing in Africa would be much better.

He who feels it knows it. Indians skin tone issues are worse than ours and anti African ideology permeates their culture but I guess many people still aren't clued up to that fact.

Be fair. The indian cricket league is very new and it's awash with lots of money. Right now it's the biggest and fastest growing thing in world sports.

The girls are probably part of a dance crew or cheerleading squad who all (as a group) got the chance or offer to go travelling and make lots of money. You don't have to be naive, just adventurous. I'd probably take that sort of chance too in their position.

So, Watcher you want to be a cheerleader in India?

I bet they still go back for more punishment.

I just felt like it.....dunno why.......

Obviously eating too many hot & spicy curries have affected coolies taste buds, these girls look fine to me.

Hopefully this little episode will teach them and some of us that Indians are not our friends and should always be viewed with suspicion.

I dont see why they should not have gone there in the first place. Black people should be able to go where they want to. And as the story says, the crowd were receptive, it was a Wizcradt official who had the racist attitude.

If this was the mentality of most of India, would it be front page news in Indian papers and on TV? Not saying that Indians are all nice and lovely, and its true that they do have their issues with skin colour and tone in particular.

Wizcraft need the kick in their backside nevertheless, and they should be warned that any racist actions in future should see the revoking of their licence to organise pre-match events.
