Might have been her dress that caused the confusion.

Maybe,
it is still Rude to ask a black person if they are from Africa?

She could be English
or from the West Indies

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.

Exactly, arista. Even if you’re not aware of racial subtleties and what’s appropriate thereof it’s still a total invasion of privacy and personal boundary-space to make a complete stranger answer such questions. Whether you have experience dealing with subtle racism or not there’s absolutely no defending this one.

But if you like the person, and they don't talk with a london accent, they talk in broken English.

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.

Why? Tell us instances of racism that you seem to know about from the Royals or their staff. The only examples I know of is someone wondering what H&M's baby will look like (which hasn't been proved and isn't even racist) and Harry wearing a swastika and calling fellow soldiers from Pakistan racist names.

Well?

asking where someone is from is not and never has been racism

I've lost count of the number of people that have asked what part of Scotland I am from, i don't consider that racist

She asked what part of Africa, is she, from
