Asking someone where they are from

arknor · 4 Dec 2022 at 11:01

usual suspects joining the woke view that asking where someone is from is now racist..
don't fake heritage and you maybe won't be offended.

It's like asking a Stolen Valour which regiment they served in, HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Also because I'm not an imbecile

Again, just more shouting "you're wrong" without saying why.

About that first point...

don't even, sistah!

Is this still going on?
'its racist'
'no it isn't and here's why'
'wrong, it's racist because I said so'
And on and on we go. Christ when will people learn you can't change the opinion of certain posters.

Did they ask you three times in a single conversation and ignore the answer you gave each time ?

Sometimes. I’ll give my birth place and they’ll say you don’t look such and such or I’ll just continue on and explain my families heritage without the inevitable question. No big deal. I’ve had plenty of people from different ethnic backgrounds ask the same question too. If it was intended as racist I’ve never taken it as such.

Yes. It is also a woman who has recognised that what she did was wrong and resigned and apologised. The palace itself has said they were “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments".

Sorry, has it been verified that the conversation went exactly the way it was said on twitter? As far as I can see, she asked an Asian about his heritage but was happy enough with his Manchester response but with the lady she's racist?

Like that means much these days, she's already been abandoned by those who should have at least tried to hold a discussion with the 'abused victim '. Better for her to say sorry and have some sense of a life left at this age rather than being propped up as a racist.

Shocker in Royal Family cutting off non royal friends to preserve self image, rather than investigate.

Accepted that it was said wrong, you're making a massive jump to claim she thinks black people can't come from Britain.

Undeniably the actions of a racist.

That wasn't even his original argument, previously it was some convoluted claim of racism based on the exact choice of words used and/or that she'd been asked more than once. Now since some other poster popped up with this new argument that Lady SH didn't believe a black woman was a Brtish citizen Jono has latched onto that one instead even though it's as bad as or worse than the original arguments he was going with.

Look for the last time. She isnt Farage level of racist she just had out dated racist attitudes that could be over come with a little bit of understanding which she seems to now have taken aboard.

Her attitude(s?) was racist? I think what you're trying to say is the phrase she used to enquire further about heritage is now outdated as, if taken for its literal meaning, it could be perceived offensive by a moron.

I should have learned by now you are just a troll not to be responded to..

The racists are LOVING this on social media. The amount of race baiting supporting the charity worker is hilarious. Pathetic, but funny.

Of course they are they are racist and this is good publicity for them. It also gives them a chance to spout racist crap at the same time.

There is a plan to invite her to the palace by Charles and Camilla.

Quite rich coming from the guy who admits he has contributed "**** all" to this thread.

How am I trolling? Do you have a serious point you'd like to pick on from what I stated? I don't think you do.

I think what you meant to say was "sorry, I was incorrect".

It isn't though, clearly she didn't accept the multiple answers given because they didn't match her own ignorant opinion and therefore believed those answers to be false so she was digging to reach the truth she had made up and would only accept her own truth, not the truth given by anyone else

It's much like discussions on these forums with you, you reject all answers because it doesn't match your world view or your troll view
