She didn't, try to stick to her actual words.

The inference was quite clear!!

Is that relevant?

Yes it was.

Quite, if you take what she said in the conversation, it is crystal clear she was inquiring about her heritage! So clear in fact Fulani actually answers: "No Lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British nationality. "

A clumsy way to ask where her family was from before they came to Britain. 

 

A racist manner of talking to someone...according to all sides involved.

Sadly we live in an age where sad pathetic individuals can be offended by almost anything at all.

What is even sadder, is that there are people who actively go looking to be offended.

Camilla, The Queen Consort, 

is ending the tradition of having ladies-in-waiting, but instead will be helped by "Queen's companions".

As well as modernising the title, the six women assistants will be less regularly in attendance than the previous role required.

The honorary positions involve helping the Queen Consort at public events.

Unlike the ladies-in-waiting, this slimmed-down role will not involve correspondence or administration.

Replacing the role of lady-in-waiting will end a feature of court life going back to the middle ages, with such close personal helpers of a Queen often coming from aristocratic families and, over the centuries, sometimes caught up in court intrigue.

The new "companions" will be a more occasional and informal position, supporting the Queen Consort at official engagements and not involved in replying to letters or day-to-day planning.

They don't receive a salary but their expenses will be covered.

Yes, the well mannered Fulani offered her an off ramp but she was too dimwitted to take it and instead continued her racist attack.

Wow. Gleeful at the downfall of an 83 year old woman for using the wrong terminology. 

 

#bekind

So it took 83 years for her to learn she needs to treat everyone with the same  respect she’s enjoyed all her life.

 

And while doing so she’s delivered an opportunity for more rightwing grievance nurturing.

 

 

Fulani could have diffused the whole thing but instead she dug her heels in and made a meal of it.

 

She is quoted somewhere as saying that she doesn't want to appear to have a chip on her shoulder - well, you said it!

Nothing disrespectful about showing an interest in someone's family and their heritage.

 

Of course, the Woke mob will twist anything if it gives them an opportunity to gang up on an elderly lady for not being fluent in Wokespeak.

On to victim blaming already.

….

 

How about we stick with blaming the person who caused the racist offense in the first pace.

What exactly were the words she used as a "racist attack"?

What part of the entitled twit got her marching orders with a palace apology specifically citing racism are the forelock tuggers not getting here?

Events have shown that to be completely incorrect.

 

There’s no such thing as ‘woke speak’ or ‘woke mob’.

 

There is however a well established practice of good manners and respect for others. The old lady here has spent a life time in Royal Circles, she knows precisely how to treat others with respect, she chose not do so.

Just because someone takes offense, doesn't mean it was offensive.

 

Being offended is like an addicition for some people. They live for it. Fulani hit the jackpot. Orpah's probably called her already.

It does indeed. That's what the narcissists don't get about offensive speech.

She may or may not have been disrespectful. I would have to hear the tone of the conversation.

 

What she was NOT, is racist. Asking where someone originates from is not racist. If you'd lived in Thailand you would know that. You're looking for something that isn't there to further an agenda.

Of course it doesn't.

 

If I said Hi to you, you might be offended because you don't like the word Hi and prefer to be greeted with Hello. That wouldn't make me offensive, it would make you an overly-senstive crybaby.

I don't understand how this could possibly have happened - she's proudly wearing red white and blue in her hair and everything.

False equivalence.

An exercise in PR to appease the Wokerati.

I need to add the outrage over this to the unitary circle Venn Diagram I’m working on.

Many black people were born in the UK and are British.

No, a formal apology.

 

Which you don’t get to re-script.

Yes, and their ancestors come from a variety of countries. The lady was asking which country her ancestors originated from.

 

If a Thai waitress asked you what part of Europe you are from, would you call them a Racist and demand they were sacked?

I have suffered many racial attacks, I am Thai/Scottish.
