That's a great argument Jono; almost as brilliant as GordyR's classic "it's racist because it's racist".
I don’t believe for a second that you’re as stupid as this comments suggests dowie.

Yes, and once more for those at the back, there is nothing wrong with being asked what your heritage is. Come on, keep up.
prior art. racism definition from 2020 youguv (note: 'ever happened', not, times per month); youguv doesn't seem to have polled the general population on current event.
juxtaposed, UK accent discrimination/racism, poor brummmies
maybe the event will indirectly help reduce Albanian immigrants - the palace took one for the team.
Oh gee, look "where you're really from".
No, perhaps you are... it's the extent of your argument!
Correct. It’s being called racist because it was racist.It's racist because it's racist, ok

Ah yes Kelvin MacKenzie the absolute bastion of truth and integrity.
Imagine using him to make a point
What a guy
Shock as you don't understand the different between countries and continents.
He's an absolute scumbag.

He's simply referring to a Mail on Sunday article, he's not claiming to have spoken to this woman himself.
(And just to preempt another mindless non-point from you the MoS is not the same as the Daily Mail, it has a different editorial staff.)

Except I didn't, I just happened to use a continent for one example and countries for the others, so shock as you spout irrelevant waffle

The wife was watching Crocodile Dundee earlier and made the comment that anyone would think Lady Hussey had asked the woman in African dress "What tribe are you from?"
Technically it's a valid question, apparently, the two Igbo names she adopted are used by two different tribes!
Not irrelevant. You're just demonstrating that you don't have the sense to see the relevance.

I'm a guest Chief of two village tribes in Nigeria .... fact.
Does that actually hold any sway? Or do they just treat you awesomely when you're there?
Tribes? Clans? Peoples? Anyway, the names aren't both Igbo. Ngozi is Igbo. Fulani is the name of a different tribe/clan/people/whatever.
It should be odd that someone so much of an "activist" would chose the name of the main slavers in the area as their own name. If her ancestors were Igbo, it was probably Fulani slavers who enslaved them.
But I don't think it's odd because I think she's utterly ignorant of pretty much everything she talks about (especially Africa, which is not one place, everywhere the same) and also that she's so fashionably racist that she thinks "black" people are "all the same". Anyone who believes in racial group identity believes that everyone of the same race is the same, obviously. That's what belief in group identity is - belief that "they" are all the same.

Back in the 70s, most ex Pats were invited to be Chiefs.
I wish I could find the photos because they had me blacking up in a Kaftan holding a bow and arrow
Thinking about it now they were probably taking the pee out of me.
