In our series pairing veteran black artists with younger talents for a frank chat about their experiences, comedians Gina Yashere and London Hughes reveal why they both felt the need to quit Britain for the US

Born and raised in London, Gina Yashere, 46, had a successful standup career in the UK, but frustrated by a lack of further opportunities, she moved to Los Angeles in 2007. There, she built an even bigger following , nabbed a regular spot on US satirical institution The Daily Show, and now has her own sitcom with the Big Bang Theory super-producer Chuck Lorre.

It's all about the money, baby. If you're ready to hustle the US is more gracious and generous.

USA is the land of contradictions but most black people are aware that opportunities are exponentially greater for us there. Astronauts, President, Head of Armed Forces, CEO's of major corporations...do I need to continue? When will these opportunities present themselves in UK?

America is the least racist country. These black women are racists and speaking for themselves.

Moves to America with its multiple states. Has a hard time realising the UK is made up of 4 home nations. Constantly refers to the UK as England.... Typical arrogant London centric attitude.

I don't think the US is racist. I just think all colors just don't like black Americans... ESPECIALLY black Americans. Why? I don't GAF what color you are, personally...I never really got it and really don't care to.

And yet people think there is no discrimination on race in uk...i feel.sad to hear this..

Guardian editors. Stories today. Is Britain racist? Of course it is. Hate crime on increase. Covid is racist against BAME Far right causing division over something which didn't happen in Reading. Britain is Islamophobic. Asylum seekers not given a house. Britain is shit. Sport.

So who is the biggest victim, who won the most oppression points? I can't be bothered reading this crap, can you just give us the results of the competition?

There’s a few racists teach at Cambridge University too.. One’s a professor.

If western countries are so terrible, you have the choice of living in Africa with other black people, where you won’t even have to see a white person. I mean, you literally have an entire continent to yourselves. White people don’t any more.
