@maggieinlondon @dee_elmi (3) In addition,the hashtags that Dee chooses to use,whilst I wouldn’t use them,are not racist either, they express a disapproval of an individual,which she is entitled to feel. As a socialist I understand that you are trying to be appropriate but this time you’re off the mark.
@maggieinlondon @dee_elmi (2) being ill-mannered and thoughtless is not racism. Being offended because of the rudeness of the interaction is totally understandable. Screaming racism just because someone has been discourteous just undermines the very real battle against racism.
@maggieinlondon @dee_elmi (1) But it is also about Dee as an Asian, it is about myself, a mixed race woman and all other minorities. It is not racist to show interest and ask questions about peoples’ heritage. LSH was rude to continue to ask when Ngozi was clearly not interested in interacting, however
@dee_elmi I am northern Irish and when in England people ask me all the time when they hear the accent “Where are you from”
Usually Asian taxi drivers and we usually discuss each other’s background but do not record it for #Racist and public consumption or agenda 😊
@RoseGee17 @maggieinlondon We need to bear in mind she is 83. She probably forgot she has asked. My mum does that lots and she is 77. Or she was just genuinely interested to know, no intention to disrespect. I am just sad that’s it’s blow up during @KensingtonRoyal visit to USA and it’s overshadow them
How on earth a question of “Where do you really come from” is a racist act? I am Indonesian, I am Asian , I am brown living in England, and if someone ask me that, never would I feel offended not ashamed!

@RoseGee17 @maggieinlondon Can’t say it better than what you said. Had no meaning to disrespect someone. But to me it’s all come to the personal take of the person . I respect that UK native citizens are white and have had genuine interest of people wanting to know where am originally from,and it’s normal
@mickynoname1 I thought it’s a matter of personal take / assumptions to question. Been living in England over decades and I do got racism treatment. Surprisingly, by other Asians or by - with respects - black people. But always just thought its more of ill manners of the individuals.
What is wrong with @JayneSeckerSky pressuring @RishiSunak to apologise for the mistakes made by his previous predecessor, whilst his focuses are more to fix them! I personally prefer solutions than mere apology
