Barsel - // Lady Hussey was expecting and so she asked again and again hoping she might have gotten the answer she was expecting. //
Why should Lady Hussey be 'expecting' any answer, apart from the accurate one she got?
Because Ms Fulani was dressed in non-British clothes, Lady Hussey took it upon herself to assume that she was from Africa, even though she was advised from the start of the conversation, that Ms Fulani was from Hackney.
She then bulldozed her way offensively through an interrogation, eventually arriving at the answer that she wanted to hear, even though it was in fact no true, that ms Fulani was from the Caribbean!
// lady Hussey was in the wrong because she didn't phrase the question in the right way and Ngozi Fulani could have been more informative with her answer. //
If I lived in London, and asked someone where they were from and they told me Hackney, that would be quite informative enough for me.
But then, I don't make bigoted assumptions about complete strangers, infer that they are lying to me, and then argue with them, until I finally tell them where they are from, even though they are not from there.
That's offensive.
Lady Hussey accepted that it was offensive, and apologised, but for some reason, a record-breaking thread has gone into utterly redundant minutia about Ms Fulani's 'previous form', as though in some way that mitigates what happened.
It didn't five-hundred-plus posts ago, and it doesn't now.
