If they're from Hackney it might be.

So, all the person has to say is, no, i'm from Hackney. It's really not hard

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

The thread title is erroneous Arista

The way she phrased it sounded like she was questioning the woman personally about where she was born.

Unless it's just the thread title being misleading.

Yes it does.

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

Maybe because of what she was wearing

But didn't the accent twig that she might be English?

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.

Well that's the thing, as soon as she spoke with her Cockney accent that should be a huge giveaway.

And about her being offended possibly if someone said she sounded like a Cockney is just a guessing game at this point.

Proper Londoners can tell the difference in accents between east n south london. People born in london are more proud of the area of London they are from than being from london. So I repeat, this woman, if shes so proud of her east london upbringing, would, and infact should, take more offence if someone in her borough thought she came from south London, rather than asking her if she was african because of her dress sense.

What would she reply I wonder if someone had actually asked her if she was African.. and also if the answer would depend on grandparents being in earshot.
