I must confess I do not watch the show at all as it would bore me to tears so until I came across this article I didn't even know there was a winner or her ethnicity.
Yes some of the comments are harsh but I wouldn't necessarily classify them as racist, the only one that I would deem to be casual racism is actually written by another Asian presumably Pakistani going from his name:
"...Saliha just seemed to make curry which tbf isn't that hard when your Asian" - Asman Hussain
I think many are just jealous of her profession (Doctor) and apparently comfortable upbringing.
