Ive watched only one or 2 episodes of this series, were those comments about "Indians are thin..." and "Go back to the slums" actually broadcast?
The whole thing down to the individuals involved, im sure Channel 4 will not have known that they had a tendency to say things like this when they signed them up.
Its very interesting that they so blatantly just came out and said something and (so far as i know) didnt think "Hey that sounded quite bad, thats not what i really think, maybe i should apologise". Doubtless when they leave and see the furore there will be swift and sweeping apologies from all.
I'm sure that they arent racists, trust me i know what proper racists are like. Maybe a good thing people can take from this is that you shouldn't misrepresent your views by saying things you don't mean, even if you dont like someone and youre in a heated arguement.
