TheApprentice sparks new race row as Lord Sugar fires three candidates from ethnic minorities in a row

Souleyman Bah is axed from The Apprentice after toy challenge

The Apprentice has denied racism allegations, saying it is the candidates' performance that determines whether they go or not. "The candidate's performance both on the task and in the boardroom are then key to Lord Sugar’s decision.”Credit: BBC/PA WireLibrarian Lottie, 19, told contestant Lubna Farhan, 33, in a WhatsApp group to "shut up Gandhi" and "I'll f*** you up".

They claim that racism, bullying and homophobia were hushed up during filming, with one contestant complaining directly to the BBC and are considering legal action.Alongside the WhatsApp messages, it's claimed she also said that the area of Somerset she is from has a low crime rate "because not many black people live there".

Who won it last year?go on have a look you cretins.check Google if you have to.Then remove this story

If anything he's done these 3 guys a favour by setting them free!

Oh man! Next will be saying Eddie Jones substituting KyleSinckler in the fantastic EnglandRugby match against the wallabies was because of his skin colour! Not every decision made is guided by racism, xenophobia, homophobia or sexism! Bell ends.

Get a grip for goodness sake. Its reality tv and they were fired because they didnt do the job. What a load of bollocks

BBCOne need to take action, this is awful! Lottie, needs to be removed, in fact the programme should be taken off air, now this has been put out in the public domain. Time to boycott bbcapprentice

Well if you interested...its all to do with Brexit..if you look close in each episode you will see a bit of it each week..look close it's there Brexit.. race...haaaa you make me laugh

🤦🏿‍♂️ You don't have to Reach that low to find racism 🤦🏿‍♂️

So fuckin what!

What bollocks..they were all pure bellends and needed to go regardless of rac

rawlimark Just about sun's up the sun and all that bollux... If they're not good enough, they're not good enough, no matter who, what, where they're from 🙄

rawlimark

rawlimark Nothing at all to do with them being crap then?

Why is the race card used when in fact they were incompetent! Most people are not racist! Anything for a poor headline!

If you're not good enough you're not good enough regardless of you're colour

Ffs!

DizzyCab When he looked at their cv again he noticed they support arsenal 🤣🤣🤣

I’m sure even a black Alan Sugar would have sacked them.

What garbage..

I fucking knew it would.

What absolute snowflake nonsense it's his money he is using and if the person is not suitable why spend your money on them

DizzyCab Was it cos they were crap?

They where make weights

Maybe, just maybe, it had nothing to do with race. Maybe they were just not up to standard ?

Its not a race thing. Stop stirring !!!!

Maybe they were just shit!?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Nothing to do with ethnicity!! THEY WERE CRAP!!

Or maybe they were just rubbish regardless of their colour or race? 🤷‍♀️🙄

Had a feeling this would happen at some point at The Apprentice!! I am sure Lord Sugar judges all candidates on merit and not on skin colour!!

I don't see anything wrong. They were useless, and the apprentice show must deal with only the best.

I can’t stand Lord Sugar but this is bullshite 😡

Wow! Sore losers spring to mind. I hadn’t even paid attention to the ethnicity of these candidates, the only thing I noticed was how poorly they performed.

Seriously - what a pathetic headline - shame on you

Is TheApprentice still a thing? Fuck me.

its the worst Apprentice ive seen, they are all shite

It was only a matter of time before,non whites would take everything done as a gesture against them.getting out of hand now,and a bit over the top👎🏿

Because hes no doing quotas and they where poor. Maybe

First time I had watched it the season, I agree it was racist, Tommy should of been sacked he is a complete twat and did not deserve to stay. I was cringing watching him.

Gotta love the Sun for stirring shit up.

If you are getting offended by this, stop watching apprentice and please never breed! The first three candidates were unsuitable because they were, well...shit.

They were idiots, an ice cream salesman who couldn’t make ice pops ffs

Come on the blokes been successful in business all his life,he obviously thought these people weren’t up to the job.Why does the race card always have to be introduced?😳😳

Maybe they are just crap

Or to put it another way, Lord Sugar fires unqualified candidates. Fixed it. TheApprentice

I thought it was because they were crap no more no less.

Is he sexist too? He sacked three men in a row. It’s funny how the anti racism brigade see race first

Bloody bore off!!!

They were Shite. That's why they got sacked. Haven't seen a decent candidate yet this year.

Or maybe they just didn’t perform as he expected. Its a job interview if they ain’t up to scratch they ain’t gonna get hired

Because they were shit

Sacked because they were rubbish what’s racist about that!!

The Sun trying to stir up shit again!

Maybe... Just maybe... He fired them because they were sh*t

Oh really?! Do we have to bring this into an argument in 2019? Seriously? Anything for a story. They were fire because they were 💩 not because of the colour of their skin. We are in 2019. Not 1919.

Maybe they were just shite 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This simply confirms to me that Lord Sugar is not in the least influenced by race...

Kmt whos coming up with stuff. Lets have facts before saying things until then let us enjoy the show

Lord_Sugar bbcapprentice

Worst 3 so don't see the problem and if people wanna say racist well the coloured woman will be out next if that's the case but don't think so absolutely rubbish news

maybe it was just that all three of these ethnic candidates were useless ,and needed firing ,this is just another thing that the hystericals want to get worked up about

If they are crap they must be fired

Oh my i wondered when stuff like this started coming around .Cant wait until he fires the first girl it will be gender related then .What a bunch of idiots always stirr up crap

So, when he fires the remaining whites, what will that make him?

Is this really about race.. it's about who the best is for his apprentice.. That's what has happened to all public sector jobs from the NHS,the police to the job centre.. its not about whos best but if they get the racial quotas right..load of bullshite..

If you watch the show you’ll see why they got fired ffs.

stop trying to make a story!! If you’re crap, you’re crap! Regardless of skin colour!!

Oh Ffs😠😠

Oh please ....

They got fired for being the most incompetent not because of race. Last years winner was black

Wouldn’t it be racist if he never? “Equal rights! - oh not that equal”

Ow shut up

That did cross my mind too

Well done The Sun, making mountains out of Molehills, it has nothing to with they were shit at what they were asked to do ffs, got nothing better to print.

not because they were shit?

Literally hadn't noticed until u jus mentioned that

NO! It’s because they’re crap!

What is it called when he fires 6 white ppl in a row, “thems the breaks kid”....

If they are weak, then they deserve it. Why must it be always about Color?

It is entirely possible you know that they were just utter shite and absolutely nothing to do with the colour of their skin

WOW it's not like the Sun to pull the race card I suppose desperate times means desperate measures

Cos they were the worst

Been fired because they were shit

Plus they were fuckwits

This is a load of shit stop bringing race into everything. They were the 3 worst ppl! Get over it ffs

Blame the extinction rebellion

Give us a break with all the race card routine it’s becoming boring now ...

He would not fire them because of their colour. Obviously they brought nothing to the table.

Why does everything get put down to fuckin colour its a joke

Lord_Sugar

If they’re shit they’re shit end of.

Get a grip snowflakes

Hmmm... TBH it's a BBC show!!! Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they deliberately chose candidates, from ethnic minorities, that were clearly not up to the job! Get the impression it's the way BBC operate (subconsciously?)

Oh my god I didn’t even notice this I just thought they were allllll shit!!

Clearly struggling to get readers this shit is a joke!!

You couldn't make it up! Have snowflakes got any intelligence , they were shite, anyone who sees this gas racist needs there head tested

Starting to sound like danlevene savesammole

Program is too shit for words but presumably they were on the losing side? so not Racism then Just they were shit

We’ve always known that. People must be really blind and deaf not knowing that in all the years they’ve been watching apprentice

Bad TV Shame on you Lord Spice

3 rubbish candidates went....in all its the cv that counts in the end...what can make money and what cant

Cause they were shit

Might they have just been the three worst candidates regardless of colour? Just asking as I never watch this programme

Bore off

Oh bollocks man

So they possibly couldn’t have been the shittest then

By that logic it's also sexist since all the firings have been men

Cobblers. His first Apprentice Tim Campbell was black - ask TC_MBE whether he thinks Lord_Sugar is racist. And last year's winner siangabbidon is mixed race. Are people saying only white people should be fired? Now that does sound racist to me.

Nothing to do with race, they were all crap

Mayb it’s cos they are shite as have you watched the show

The race card because you can't accept you sick at a job.

It’s not just they were shit then...

Not gonna lie I was thinking this last night, suprsied nobody has noticed before he does this every year.😂

🤦‍♂️ perhaps it was due to them being shit?

Who even watches this shit

Oh come on this stuffs just getting stupid now !!! The next thing is they won’t be able to put girls teams and men’s because it’s sexist sad sad sad world were living in our grandparents would be ashamed!!!!!!

😂😂😂

Because they were the most hopeless of quite a load of hopeless contestants, skin colour irrelevant

🥳

🙄

😴😴😴

I wondered how long it was going to take somebody to pick up on that 🙄

Non story as all 3 deserved to be fired based on their performances. Not that the Sun have ever been racist have they.....

This is why I don't bother watching TV these days,everybody has to tread on eggshells due to the 'diversity police ' From now on this can't be allowed to happen again so now in future the show has to be 'fixed'

Well done Alan ... keep the show interesting )))))

Go Lammy!

Its because they were 💩 not cos of colour

Typical far-right , any excuse to stir up racial tension. As if anyone seriously believes they care about ethic minorities 😂😂😂

Can’t ethinic people be shit at their job? That’s equality!

How about the sexist comment from the women on the show

But it's not only Alan Sugar it's his two assistants who are just as guilty.The girl at the centre of racism on the apprentice,his assistant only called her young, arrogant,or something totally ignored the racist comments that was supposedly made,why has she not addressed this

Get real sun

They were all shockingly bad tho!... but here come the cancel culture brigade.pathetic! I’ve had more realistic pitches from the kids in cheap suits that wave at me and try to sell me gas and electric

And they are all male, oh and the only disabled bloke.... poor old Alan 🤣

they were all shit though

Don’t make this a race thing. It’s like black football managers don’t get chance etc. They do but they just aren’t any good at it simple as that. Just like white managers fail too. Jesus Christ!!

Cancel him

And the jobless vegan tree huggers are up in arms naturally snowflakes

They were all shit though,

Male as well
