If you ever ask me where I'm 'really' from and you get a very short answer, take it as a sign that I have no interest in spending my time and energy on getting to know you...
Old age does not mean you can be racist, anymore than it means you can sexually abuse children and expect to use a get-out of prison age-clause. Equally to change your name, portray yourself as someone who grew up in a different culture to what you actually did, cry foul when questioned appears to be a deliberate attempt to be dishonest. It appears to undermine progress towards getting rid of racism and dishonesty. #LadySusanHussey #NgoziFulani #MaryHeadley
Royalty and Racism
More a general comment on social media than Mastodon, but it is interesting to see the racists contorting themselves into knots in trying to defend the indefensible.
Seems an apt time to share this piece I wrote for #WritersMosaic #RoyalLiteraryFund, discussing identity, belonging, and a sense of place, and challenging assumptions of nativism, as a person of mixed heritage (full text on link): https://writersmosaic.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Ming-Ho-Belonging-and-a-sense-of-place-Aug-2022.pdf #whereareyoufrom #nativism #belonging #identity #colonialism #ethnicity #heritage #Britishness #home #place #memory #Welsh #Chinese #LadySusanHussey
This #RacistBigot hussy, #LadySusanHussey is the wife of former @BBC Chair, Duke Hussey, long time senior household aide & confidante of #royalfamily, AND godmother of #PrinceWilliam #thecrownseason5 has this woman on it. William doesnt hold a candle to #Diana #queenofhearts
They didnt fire her - she was allowed to ‘quit’
Looting, thieving, plundering, adulterers. #RacistRoyalFamily ‘https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63810468
Thing is, #LadySusanHussey wont have the first clue as to what shes done wrong.
None of the fucking Royals do [save for one lad and his wife who have a good understanding!] because its so ingrained in their privilege.
