  1. Nope. It was established she was British. Further questioning along the lines that happened was racism in action.
  2. She has left a post she was clearly unfit for. That is best for all.
  3. All sides involved have admitted it was racist behaviour. Once the charity worker stated she was British that was the end of it. To say “where do you really come from?” is racism in action.
  4. You don’t know what cultural appropriation is do you? Here’s a simple explanation for you…and remember, the U.K. is in theory-though as this story shows not always in practice-a multicultural society https://www.britannica.com/story/what-is-cultural-appropriation
  5. Ah, I was waiting for this line of argument. Whataboutary …The last refuge of the desperate
  6. “Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
  7. Having read some posts on this thread, she’s not the only one.
  8. Maybe you should open your eyes then.
  9. There are many British citizens who face this type of racist behaviour on a regular basis because they do not conform to a preconceived perception of what a British citizen should look like. Preconceptions rooted in nothing but racism.
  10. Must be a terrible experience for you to have to listen to someone not prepared to be treated in such a manner. How dare she speak out on her experience of having her nationality questioned because of her ethnicity.
  11. The charity worker knew exactly where the line of questioning was coming from. No confusion at all, except on the part of those searching for a way to explain away this racist incident.
  12. Nonsense. hussey was told the charity worker was British and yet she continued with a racist line of questioning.
  13. I don't think that is what is happening at all, but then I'm not trying to explain away a racist incident.
  14. A racist manner of talking to someone...according to all sides involved.
  15. All sides involved have acknowledged the conversation was racist...
  16. The conversation was racist, as acknowledged by all involved.
  17. No he's acknowledging the truth.
  18. Acknowledged she was british? Here's the transcript of the conversation...the line underlined and in bold show why that claim is not true. Lady SH: Where are you from? Me: Sistah Space. SH: No, where do you come from? Me: We’re based in Hackney. SH: No, what part of Africa are YOU from? Me: I don’t know, they didn’t leave any records. SH: Well, you must know where you’re from, I spent time in France. Where are you from? Me: Here, UK SH: NO, but what Nationality are you? Me: I am born here and am British. SH: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from? Me: ‘My people’, lady, what is this? SH: Oh I can see I am going to have a challenge getting you to say where you’re from. When did you first come here? Me: Lady! I am a British national, my parents came here in the 50s when … SH: Oh, I knew we’d get there in the end, you’re Caribbean! Me: No Lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British nationality. SH: Oh, so you’re from …” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/nov/30/buckingham-palace-aide-resigns-black-guest-traumatised-by-repeated-questioning
  19. Actually william said it... ''A spokesperson for the Prince of Wales, who is Lady Hussey’s godson, said the comments were unacceptable and that “racism has no place in our society”.'' https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/nov/30/buckingham-palace-aide-resigns-black-guest-traumatised-by-repeated-questioning
  20. Nope, meant it was good, right and proper she was removed from her prominent role. Nonsense, as the transcript of the conversation shows...
  21. Gleeful? Where do you get that from? A person repeatedly pursuing a racist line of questioning has resigned from a fairly prominent role and will no longer be in a position to abuse those doing charity work. hussey was told by the charity worker that she was British by birth, but hussey refused to accept this and continued her line of questioning. It is good such a person resigned. #noplaceforracists
