Labour MP Rupa Huq has been suspended from the parliamentary party pending an investigation after she called the chancellor "superficially" black.
Speaking about Kwasi Kwarteng at a party conference fringe event, Ms Huq also said: "If you hear him on the Today programme, you wouldn't know he's black."
Tory Party chair Jake Berry called her comments racist and disgusting.
Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner said the remarks were "unacceptable".
Speaking to the BBC's Politics Live programme, she said Ms Huq should apologise, while the party's foreign affairs spokesman David Lammy described the remarks as "unfortunate" adding: "I wouldn't have made them myself."
