Found this on a DS thread

Just looking through her twitter account: http://twitter.com/Sara_McLeanx and on March 12th she retweeted something that was racist and then five days later on March 17th she decided to go one better by saying, I quote:

"what is this world coming to?! trends about black people? don't people have anything better to tweet about. ugh"

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Is anyone not racist these days?

Really depends on what the 'trending' subject was at the time IMO.

She could simply mean why are people singling out black people for whatever reason, or it could be the other way.

Only if you are a white person in UK who is less likely to experience racism. Was called a n*gger last week just for walking down the street.

I'm sorry you're subjected to that, nobody should ever have to be. But, you then go on to post a tweet out of context claiming racism!

Far too much ,like Vicky said its stop people taking serious REAL racism and bullying

That's not enough to go on to accuse her of being racist. Her tweet could very well be in reference to a trending topic that was racist.

I go on Twitter and there are always racist trending topics on there. Sometimes these topics aren't intended as being racist, but they get hijacked by racists.

Seems like there's always a #thingsblackpeopledo #thingswhitepeopledo etc., trending topics and they always turn nasty.

She was probably just talking about that.

Doesn't surprise me that the DS loons have jumped on the racist bandwagon though.

good point, and also as pointed out above^ it was highly likely the tweets were negative and that's why Sara was annoyed.

I discovered a former colleague hated Southern Asian people.

[Me. I Am Salman]

90% sure she was trying to be the complete opposite.

[Jords]

Its probably about them ****ty trends like

#whatablackwomanwouldsay

[iRyan]

That account is fake, look at this:

Sara McLean ‏@Sara_McLeanx
1990's kids grew up with the spice girls and we grew up with the likes of one direction, great

Sara's 22. Clearly the person who runs this account is a teenager.

[alex_front2]

Give her benefit of doubt, Sara needs to be extremely careful how she writes her tweets.

[Mystic Mock]

Im shocked, but she also said on May 31st that the Queen does **** all.

In a tweet?

I CBA looking back through her whole account but if she said this then that kinda proves her whole 'god save the queen' thing is only an act. As Im sure she broke down in tears a while back because someone said that the queen did nothing?

Yeah she said it in one of her past Tweets.

Oh dear. The one thing that made her slightly interesting/different is fake. Who would have thought it

I bloody knew she copied that Queen stuff from Rodrigo Lopes in BB10, what an actress.

IMO people crying racism at the slightest opportunity trivialises real racism that goes on in the world. Same as those who scream bully as soon as something negative is said about someone.
