That has FA to do with it. Unfortunately I have come across people who are ashamed of their (ethnic origins). She is 1/4 Sri Lankan not 1/4 black, ( like she said in her eviction interview.) that's the difference.
Saying this though, I do not think she is racist.

It has everything to do with it. An ethnic minority does not automatically equal 'black'. If you're going to quote my post, at least have a valid reason for doing so in the first place.
Negating your own insinuation hardly strenghthens your argument, either.
I await your 500th. 'last word' comment with bated breath ...

Your comment about 'ethnic minority does not automatically equal 'black'. is absolutely true. However, I am slightly confused why you have come to the conclusion that I don't agree or understand this? My main gripe with your post was this: 'But perhaps the most glaring is the comment about Saskia. Any half-decent reporter would've made a few checks into the ethnic origins of her family, and realised how ludicrous that statement really is'
I interpreted (forgive me if I am wrong) that to mean, that just because she is part Sri Lankan then obviously she can't be racist. Which is complete rubbish, as per my reasons above and what 'BringScienceback' has put in the first part of her post above.
I wait with bated (yawn) breath on 'your I'm always right no matter what last word'

If you'd read the posts between your knee-jerk reaction and your most recent post, you'd already know the answer to your own questions here.
How tiresome. You quote my post, basically to let me know that you haven't got a point? You just like an argument, and as soon as you lose, you trot out the trusty 'last word' card. Oh dear.
