But where are you really from? Lady-in-waiting has resigned.

bit racist to assume that the people commenting are white .

"What's your name?"

"Fred Smith"

"No, I mean you real name?"

"Fred Smith. That's what I was christened."

"But what was your original name?"

"Fred Smith. I've always been Fred Smith "

"But when did you change your name to Fred Smith?

Do people at functions get asked multiple times despite their skin colour? I do.

Nosey goes to party's that they just stand and stare at the ground..... play it safe and don't offend

You could offend someone by asking if they like horse racing, boxing, caravans and tarmac-ing drives.

This story has now got the Beeb in a full on WOKE frenzy.

That sort of comment makes me feel like falling over and laughing. They are reporting news - end of. 2 interesting interviews as well.

Of course they never report anything bad when Labour is in. People like you should feel that they can only vote for woke parties. Doubt if you do but fact is in your terms all are.

An old lady asks questions about a person's heritage who represents a charity offering service only to those of a specific heritage?

Can you imagine a different scenario to the one presented which resulted in the discussion of the person's heritage? Is it possible they started off discussing the charity and its aims?

btw I'm not defending her. Its not nice to be asked where are you originally from (because you have brown skin). Has happened to me dozens of times. But on the scale of racism it's a 1 out of 10.

 

[gas112]

majority of the callers on jeremy vine today of non british heritage said they could see nothing wrong with the question and looked on it as someone being interested in their heritage and they were proud to speak of their heritage

"But where are you really from" is a thing racists often say to people who they think don't look like they belong here.

"Hackney" is not an answer they like.

If you are white, I'll wager nobody has ever said it to you.

A bit off subject but I'd like your opinion John


Would said woman's charity help white women abused by black African men.

 

[Justin Passing]

Do you think genuine black women are amused by the mischief making of someone whose income is generated by the race industry?
Just another professional 'victim' encouraging others to make an excuse instead of making something more beneficial and creative.

You mean, as opposed to the non-genuine black women?
Read about the charity, what it does and the salaries - none until recently.

The old crone's questions - if they were as Ms Fulani reports, which may be in doubt - were absolutely stereotypical of what not to say. Lady Toff should at least have known what Fulani was about, which encompasses everyone and his dog disrespecting the group Fulani represents, which does have a particular problem. It was founded as a result of traditional domestic violence to their women, being ignored or mishandled by all - including the police. The charity started as a place for African heritage women to go when they'd been abused - the police having earned disrespect.

If I were representing white middle aged men I'd be offended by some privileged ignorant host's functionary, referring to me/us as "you people".

Of course Fulani is telling people about it. The repellent behaviour is symptomatic of the problem, so that's her job.
In the past the women have been told words to the effect of "We can't do anything about it because bruises don't show on you skin", and "you lot are tough you can take it". Ugh.

Asking about Fulani's ancestry was perfectly reasonable as Vine's phoners said, but it was the attitude revealed in the words the Lady Of the Household used, which showed the attitude, which she was incompetent in revealing.
"We are going to have a problem with you" wasn't quite what she said but it was implied.
Who the hell did she mean by "We"? British Establishment? If so, she was right.

If that transcript is right 100% agree - privileged pompous old bat, who thinks she's more important than everyone else.

Unfortunately for her she picked the wrong person to dance the wokey cokey with. Apparently she wasn't the only non-white person who was interrogated.
