It is ok to ask them what part of africa they are from yeah?

When the mutual familiarity’s tight enough/you’re talking as (potential) friends the only thing wrong with that is assuming they’d have to be from Africa, even the way it sounds (and for all you know they could be from Saint Kitts and Nevis). But in the context of this thread it was so-blatantly asked to racially-offend Ngozi and tell her ‘her kind’s not welcome’ and that’s blatantly not okay.

It isnt ok. I agree.
But I dont think that's what was going on. I mean no offence to squint eyed inbreds, but have you seen the state of the old woman.

No way she was doing anything deliberately, the only accusation could be rudeness, but who knows she might just have aspergers or something.


Its crap story, but opens up an interesting debate..

Pity you cant be bothered tonight, perhaps another time.

I mean, she might do but people said just that about (to use a very extreme example) Shamima Begum (because of the intense social awkwardness she gave off in vibes when she was being interviewed) and people still (rightly) came on her with force so I wouldn’t even be trying to use that as an excuse when it comes to things race-related.

Yes, a very extreme example.
