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

 

Was it really necessary to post this picture. I think it is obvious where she was from.

Just repeating the word Racism doesn't mean you win the argument. ????

 

I repeat, asking about someone's heritage is not racist.

I am British by birth but my heritage is from outside the UK.

 

Nobody in the UK asks me about my heritage.  Take a guess as to why that is.

Apparently not far from where you come from.

Because you're white.

Yes.

Yes.

So, it's acceptable to ask her because she's black?

It's a great question. Much as I would enjoy debating it with you here there is no point as my post would likely be removed if I argued my position too effectively.

 

I'll debate it over on Twitter. Ciao. ????

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

Must have been:

"No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?"????

It's fine if they're Thai. Forgive them. They didn't mean anything by it.

 

It's only "really" racist when white people do it. Then they need to be vilified. Cancelled. Strung up if possible. 

Calm down, take a deep breath and count to 10. If that doesn't clear the urge to post lame hyperbole then consult a professional.

Effectively? I think it's extremely likely that your definition of that word does not correspond in any way with what you would find in let's say The Oxford English Dictionary.????

You could perhaps forgive this old duffer more easily if it wasn't for this bit:

SH: No, where do you come from?

Me: We’re based in Hackney.

SH: No, what part of Africa are YOU from?

This implication is strong- you have black skin so you MUST be from Africa not the UK.  No wonder she chose to resign- embarrassing enough to say something like that privately, but in an official capacity- time to put her out to pasture.

"...argued my position too effectively"-  On past performance you have zero to worry about there.

Most likely because you are an upstanding good looking citizen that obeys the laws and contributes to society.

Yes, the UK. She's British.

Gee, I was going to say that to you.

Old people dont  know about woke and seem to be racist when they talk, my mother who is 87 is often racist to my wife and cant understand when i tell her about it.

Thank goodness for old people that have not been indoctrinated into the woke theology.

I'm guessing they get out of libel here by not explicitly stating what 'DV' is, but clearly Twitter needs to do a lot more work in cleaning up these left wing misinformation posts.   Also, is a charity allowed to exclude people based on protected characteristics such as race?  Is this not itself an example of actual racism?  Would it be "racist" if a charity only served white people (for example) and excluded black people?   

It's not racist if it's against white men, LOL.

So the new World Order is simply only White Men and Women can be racists?

Why not? 

I was told I couldn't join a golf club in Hua Hin because I was white

Did you miss the "LOL". It was sarcasm.

Only white men. Don't you know that all women are perfect and would never be racist?

Sarcasm alert for the humour bereft.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows what she meant.

I'm fairly sure this woman knew exactly what she meant but was on a mini crusade.  Lady Hussey lost her temper and the rest is history. ????‍♂️

This appears to be from the actual event - again she's wearing the colours of another country on her head.
