Big Brother 2013 Cast Members: Racist Contestants Say ‘Blacks Are Like Tokens,’ Want To Punch Asian To Make Her ‘Eyes Straight’

Contestants on the reality television show "Big Brother" were captured making racist and homophobic remarks, with one cast member saying "blacks are like tokens" and another saying they want to punch an Asian contestant to make her "eyes straight."

In a video, GinaMarie, Aaryn and Kaitlin take turns hurling stereotypes at their Asian, African-American and gay competitors in a conversation that was edited out of the reality show's CBS airing, the Huffington Post reports.

Aaryn and GinaMarie first made fun of Helen, an Asian-American contestant. "Dude, shut up, go make some rice," Aaryn says. Later, GinaMarie adds, "Andy was like, 'I'm gonna punch her in the face,' and I was like, 'Maybe that'll make her eyes straight,'" according to the Huffington Post.  

The conversation then turned to Howard and Candice, two African-American contestants. "Blacks stick together ... They're like tokens ... They're like black Barbie and Kens," someone on the tape says, before another voice says that Candice's "blackness" was coming out, the Huffington Post also reports.

The cast members recorded making the racist and homophobic comments have not publically commented on the incident.  

The "Big Brother" television show records the lives of average contestants living in a house where they are constantly monitored by cameras.
