But it is inherently racist to think of natural born Brits who are not white as a lower pseudo class of British. Had the aid asked 'what is your ethnicity' or 'what is your ancestry' then there would be no problem. And no doubt this is what the aid meant. And someone's cultural heritage is a vital part of an individual which can absolutely give insight into their motivations and principles etc and is just interesting to know. But it is the suggestion that someone who is from the UK is lesser than another born in the UK based solely on skin colour is racist. Having said that, her later claim that the monarchy is institutionally racist is pure nonsense. This incident actually shows the opposite. That it is NOT institutionally racist.

Yes agree with you. For example, if one was asked where you from, one could say I was born in Kendal North of England UK, but my parents came here as immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean etc in the 1950s. This avoids another question of where we're your parents born. She may have still been asked other questions after that, about work her parents did, qualifications she got, if she has siblings and what inspired her to get involved in the charity work to do with domestic violence. Usually hosts ask between 3 to 4 break the ice questions. After that Lady H may have chatted a bit longer about her charity work. So it's A regrettable happening that didn't have to happen that way. It's a shame really.

After listening to Ngozi Fulani I suspect that there was no underlying malicious ill intent on the part of Lady Susan Hussey, and rather ironically I'd say that Lady Susan Hussey is the victim here! I feel that her question was simply to astatine Ngozi Fulani's heritage, which is by her own admission Afro-Caribbean. A simple answer "I am British" is fine but no one should be afraid of stating their actual blood heritage - this is something that ought to be celebrated isn't it? I feel Ngozi Fulani's comments are inflammatory and dangerous and only serve to fan the flame of racism, separation and discrimination.
