She could be English
or from the West Indies

But it's not rude to ask a black person what part of africa they come from.

Yes, but her dress and accessories make her seem as though she is very very proud of her african background, so I'm not getting her outrage at the question.

She was told she was born in the uk to which the horrible woman kept asking what part of Africa she’s from, it’s not that hard to listen to people and not be racist

I personally agree that her reaction was OTT.

However I also don't understand why the other woman was assuming that she was from an African country?

What does her look/clothing say to you Mock

England?

----------------

Is leopard print considered African attire?

Leopard print is the most popular print in Africa. Women typically wear it on different occasions such as weddings, graduations, and the like.

the woman is a race baiter

It's Cultural Appropriation I tell you.

But seriously just because she wears African attire doesn't mean that she was born on that continent, it just means that she has heritage there.

And that was the question...where were her people from, it’s small talk

Yes it does.

This a multicultural population, apparently. Why would I think anything else?

Because she was a racist scumbag, Mock. Pure and simple. Ngozi really, really didn’t overreact.

I think that I misread the op at that point and thought that Ngozi had resigned from her Charity work.

My bad.

The voices/accents give it away...who spoke first on this occasion would be my question.

But if this girl was on her street and someone from her street said she sounded like she was from south London, well, I bet she would be more offended by that, than by whatever that cock eyed inbred old snobby suckler of the queen bees honey teeth said.

100 percent.
