That woman makes me sick 😫

[@stephaniecorbett5356]

Thanks, Laurence,for speaking up for us. All this crap is creating trouble with our race relations, it’s so sad. It does beg the question, why do so many different nationalities risk their lives to come here? Thank you again.x

"I run an anti-racism campaign..." therefor she needs to find racism, even if none exists, to stay employed.

Racism should never be the victim being offended but the intent of the offender. People of low intellect or mental health can be offended by the slightedt thing doesnt mean we should tread on tip toes in case. Example, some folkscaee offended by a mess but does that mean we have to chop down all the cherry trees to stop blossom falling on the pavements in spring and offending one in a million.

[@tomd2103]

Fair play to Laurence there. Most TV presenters fold like a cheap deckchair in those kind of situations.

[@yvonnehayton6753]

Yeah like presenter Camilla whoever she is and that gay presenter who positively sucked up to that horrendous, obnoxious, racist woman, pointing the finger and shouting at them the other day. They should have stood up to her like Laurence did this woman but they were virtue--signalling worms!

Ngozi Fulani was not invited to this reception by the Palace. Another charity invited her. IF she is unable to make and understand small talk in social settings, she clearly does not belong there. Bushra Shaikh can make excuses for her all day but the bottom line is that she should not have been there.

[@Captally]

It wasn't a bloody incident for crying out loud! How many Brits have NOT asked someone where they are from? It's in the same vein as talking about the weather to us. A polite conversation opener, that's all. Sometimes they are from somewhere you know and it's a delightful moment of opening up the conversation.

[@davidgranvillehunter6231]

These kind of people claim they are British but they are offended by British common courtesy.

[@stumccabe]

Maybe it would have been better if peoples of such different origins hadn't immigrated to Britain. It just hasn't worked out. It's like an incompatible married couple always fighting - maybe it's time to split up and live in separate places.

[@spector969]

I'm mixed race, I've been asked where I'm from plenty of times, the question has never upset me in the slightest, this is not racism, and pretending it is waters down the term 'racism' to the point of it being practically meaningless.

There is not enough racism to go around so they have to make it up

[@davidirvine4294]

Well said.

[@shiva_productions]

I do think your lightness of attitude is a good thing. It shows confidence and understanding. My daughter is mixed race too, and is asked the question 'where are you REALLY from' after she has already said she's British. I do think this is rude and ignorant though - not racist - as she has answered the question already, and they are implying that because of her colour half of her heritage makes her what she is. She's never even been to Africa. British is where she's 'really from'. It can chip away at people's sense of belonging. As a white woman I never get asked about my heritage by a stranger first off. People should ask themselves why they're so curious only about POC's heritage. All of us have mixed heritages really.

[@neiltomkins4713]

I think you speak for most people, well said.

[@spector969]

@@shiva_productions I understand your sentiment, and yes, at times maybe once or twice people have asked in a clumsy or even slightly rude way, but I always look at intent, if there's no malice in the intent then I just let it go, people are just trying to make conversation, they don't mean any harm by it in my experience.

[@Random_Alt]

[@chaleasebrennan3043]

[@MackerelCat]

When you’re on the receiving end of abuse it leaves you shaken, not smiling and chatty like Fulani has been all over tv.

[@paulberrington2773]

Fulani or Marlene whatever her name is obviously hates the white race! Does that not make her a racist herself?

[@lindakelly7430]

The most sensible thing I've read about this whole debacle...well done!

[@taffia6704]

Fulani is hardly a shrinking violet. She could have cut the conversation short politely and moved on instead of deliberately giving vague answers to drag the whole thing on. But that wouldn't have got her the publicity.

[@catherinep3458]

im a person of colour, thankyou Lawrence, 100% agree with you.

[@dannyalbertt]

Let’s just remember, this is a woman who changed her name from Marlene Headly to a Swahili one, runs an exclusively black only refuge centre that has her Caribbean roots mentioned in the first line of its mission statement and presents herself in traditional Caribbean dress. Well, its commendable that she is proud of her background but why on earth would she attack someone when they take an interest in her heritage, when it is the key identity for the project she was there representing. The transcript gives no context and is clearly one sided. As a mixed race Brit myself, I get asked the same question all the time and I appreciate people asking about my background. This is not racism. This was not a traumatic experience for her or by any reasonable means a form of abuse, get a grip!

[@petegarnett7731]

Her name is NOT even Swahili or anything else. It is a combination of two different tribes from west Africa.

[@WhenLoveisProjected]

Traditional Caribbean dress? I see no madras or bandana...

[@dannyalbertt]

@@WhenLoveisProjectedhaha well she didn’t actually confirm her heritage so who am I to say, but call it what you want - she was dressed to express her culture. I’m pretty sure Barbados is in the Caribbean though. Anyway, that’s not a criticism and is beside the point, I’m Arab Brit and I wouldn’t care what you wear, but if someone curious about it, don’t get irate and defensive about it

[@WhenLoveisProjected]

@@dannyalbertt I'm not fussed about what she was or wasn't doing, just clarifying that traditional Caribbean clothes are made from bandana or madras cloth which doesn't feature in any of her pictures. Perhaps you meant to say African, but even then, I'm not sure leopard print cuts it from how I see my friends in their traditional African dress, but I don't know Africans from every country on the continent 🤷🏾‍♀. I agree this is a non-story and was definitely planned, however, I also think that in normal life asking someone about on first meeting them is rude and irrelevant and should be reserved for when you're actually trying to get to know someone deeper beyond their personality.

[@sandrafinbar]

Marlene Headley I believe is her name. The other name is not officially hers was there to cause trouble. Probably for Camilla, but Lady Susan was the poor target of her blatant racism and that's why she doesn't want to assist non black women at her charity. If you had a heart for helping you wouldn't turn anyone away. She wore a recording device and was probably a plant by the Harkle duo.

He's correct he's White so that's coloured. How many White's get people sacked for asking where they came From. I had a conversation with a Gypsy who lives in this country, he did some gardening work for me. Part of the conversation was this; I asked him in reference to his Irish accent, that's a nice accent where does that originate? He explained his family came to Britain from Southern Ireland. He was not fazed and neither was I. At no point did any reference to racism rear it's ugly head. But then we are both White, say no more.
