Buckingham Palace staff member resigns over comments to charity boss

@centristjim1 @BBCNews Susan Hussey: Oh, I knew we'd get there in the end, you're Caribbean! This statement gave her away! Again Jim, if I do not trll you where I am from in the first instance, why insist? Thats harassment. Isn’t it?

@centristjim1 @BBCNews From what I’ve heard on the radio maybe it was the wording of the question “yea but where are you from originally” is the way to go out where her ancestors may have been from?

@centristjim1 @BBCNews Then talk about the weather. Plenty of ways to make small talk. Would she have asked a white person where they’re really from to make small talk? No she wouldn’t. And this is why it’s racist.

@MadelineFindlay @BBCNews Interrogation 🙈😂😂

@centristjim1 @BBCNews No small talk. When she said she’s from Hackney the convo ends there. But she pushed and pushed & called her “challenging”. Why wld I challenge where someone said they’re from. She can look at her & know she’s either African or Caribbean

@centristjim1 @BBCNews And was dressed in an outfit that suggested she was from Africa. The country has gone mad.

@centristjim1 @BBCNews It’s lazy and offensive. If she wanted to make small talk she could have asked about the reason she was there… about her Charity. The irony is, the questions equally have gone the other way. I am British. No, where are you really from. Germany. Russia?

@centristjim1 @BBCNews Even though it is lazy and unnecessary. She could have asked about her heritage. It was the language and attitude she used which shows her racism. “No. Where are you really from”. That is simply a snide way of telling people that they are not from here.

@centristjim1 @BBCNews But she asked the same question of her 6 times, surely you'd change the subject or move on after the 2nd attempt, rather than insult someones intelligence by belittling them....

@centristjim1 @BBCNews Where are you from, Jim?

@centristjim1 @BBCNews British upper class "small talk":

@centristjim1 @BBCNews Racism comes in many shapes and sizes … plain and simple.

@centristjim1 @BBCNews Jim, I hope you don't go around asking ladies that question
