The Tories love having an ethnically diverse cabinet because the racism doesn’t look like racism if it’s being said by a brown person.
The Tories love having an ethnically diverse cabinet because the racism doesn’t look like racism if it’s being said by a brown person.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donor Frank Hester apologised after reportedly saying ex-Labour MP Diane Abbott made him want to “hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”.
The party has refused repeated calls to return Mr Hester’s money, despite labelling his alleged comments as “racist” and “wrong”.
The former advisor to Boris Johnson has been a frequent critic of Conservative Party’s approach to race since leaving government in a row over a racism report.
Paraphrasing Martin Luther King, Mr Kasumu said: “It is not the colour of your skin that matters when it comes to tackling racism, discrimination and bringing communities together - it has to be the content of your character and your willingness to lead.”
The Guardian reports that Mr Hester made remarks about Ms Abbott while criticising a female executive at another organisation during a meeting at his company’s headquarters in 2019.
Ms Harman added the reason the Tories were “hesitant” to criticise Mr Hester and hand back his donations was “because they’ve accepted such a huge amount of money”.
