Is Alexandra Lesley Phillips racist or are her concerns legitimate?

[dangermows]

i've never been leered at :-(

You think she's racist and are fishing for replies.

Surely they are legitimate until proven to be false? It happens all over but it's a taboo subject but she's right. It won't change though as this is now what we have already accepted as a culture. The good and the bad

“I’m increasingly being leered at, I'm increasingly being followed" - not racist
"it’s not by people that are born & bred here" - a bit racisty.

Hope that helps.

'Like I'm going around the streets of Morocco' is unnecessary if you want to avoid being seen as racist. I was fine in Morocco and wasn't followed once that I know of.

Both may be factual. It’s how the second part is portrayed could be construed as racist depending on the words used and tone.

But I think the article/ post is designed to generate bites more than it has any substance in actual racism.

Are you a blonde woman?

Everybody knows exactly what she meant. Culturally not white British, probably Muslim.

No but I know blonde women who have also visited Morocco with no issues. They loved the market places. Is it an issue in Morocco?

It’s possible to be blonde and a stinker in fairness.

Ah. The Islamification of Britain.

I don't feel its appropriate to say wad in this thread, so I'll not.

Are you saying the woman on the clip is a liar? She may be.

There are huge cultural differences even within Europe. In the 80s in Italy my missus was hit on three times when I went to the toilet in Naples railway station. It was funny but I imagine would have been exhausting if you were a sole female traveller.

 

[ErichZann]

Not racist if she's telling the truth

 

[VINCENT VEGA]

No of course it isnt , its just another consequence of mass immigration from the third world. What did people actually expect to happen?

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Ah. The Islamification of Britain.

London

 

[BarrySheensAutograph]

No idea, but she seems quite passionate about it.
I personally wouldn't dismiss what she's saying out of hand.

 

[hospitalball]

think its the same woman who was mugged a while back ,might have genuine concerns .

I got followed by a 12 year old boy for about 15mins asking me for money and food.

Was seriously considering swiping his legs in the end just to get rid of him the little bastard.

So she could have said Italian rather than referencing Morocco.

I once knew a girl who was either horrified by jeering from building sites or she enjoyed it depending on whether or not she considered them 'hunks'.
