Makes me wonder how many people you’d meet that hold similar views to the caller
I was listening when that person came on, Just have to remember they don’t speak for everybody, just themselves.
I’ve believed for a while when someone has a brain leak like that, the large gentleman from the car advert should appear and go “misterrrrrrrrr” and chuck an Ancestry test at the culprit
A lot of people tend to get confused between migrants and people who have foreign heritage.
I’m born and raised in England, but Pakistani by heritage.
A lot of people tend to assume I was born in South Asia.
The thing these cockwombles always forget is that this is a FUCKING ISLAND.
Their ancestors didnt magically sprout from the ground…even if they have the intellect and critical thinking of a root veg.
So its never ever really about where they are from, but the colour of their skin.
….. Because cunts.
We’re all Jock Tamson’s Bairns
Isn’t this the caller that said we shouldn’t have free school meals because kids in Africa don’t? Couldn’t believe what I heard.
The woman is a total dickhead, and a perfect example for why this country is going down the toilet.
What a disgusting example of humanity. She couldn’t help herself, racists always out themselves in the end. Silly horrible bint.
Sangita’s experience is unfortunately all too familiar for people who aren’t white. I’m a first generation immigrant and over the years have been made to feel I don’t belong anywhere. From microaggressions, a botched flour bomb and someone bosting to me about their UKIP counsillor uncle before asking for a coffee date, it can be easy to make someone feel like they don’t belong here. Nadiya Hussain really hammered this home in one of her docs where she said she felt she was too Bangladeshi to be British and too British to be Bangladesh. This is what I feel like (though I’m Arabic). Comments, similar to what Sangita experienced, build to this feeling. Just the other week someone at work (who isn’t white) told me I seem “too British” and didn’t know if it was a “good thing or bad thing”. I hope the exchange Sangita had, as horrible as it was, really makes people from all walks of life question what they say.
Something really bugs me about LBC’s “Give racist people a platform so that our presenter can smack them down” style.
No doubt this lady spoke to a producer before going on air, expressed her views and rather then being told to do one, LBC’s eyes light up and tell her she’ll be on air in minutes.
Doesn’t sit right with me tbh.
The caller sounds like she’s spent more time watching Jeremy Kyle than actually paying attention in class to be saying Sangita is less British than her.
Anne from Widnes has spent her life on benefits moaning about the contributions of better humans of colour then her. Anne’s biggest contribution will be when she kicks the bucket and the country steps a little forward without her!
She’s as British as sitting in a German pub drinking a Belgium beer whilst eating a curry
The UK has always been a trading nation, with thousands of years of immigration, there is no such thing as pure English, or British, even the queen is of German stock, peel back a few generations on any British person, even these racist pigs and there will be an immigrant relative…
It’s very easy to condemn this isn’t, but when it comes to discuss the Notting Hill Carnival for example, if framed correctly, many of her critics in here would be on the same side of the debate as her.
For me, condemning overt racism has become a class identifier for many people, to show they are educated and above the riff raff. But when it comes down to action, and day to day specific examples, many of these people actually harbour many of the same negative feelings towards minority groups.
You see it time and again on this subreddit.
Sangita sounds more British than most people I’ve met. Also, I’d say most of the words she used in that response would have been too advanced for poor ol’ Anna
