The home secretary and I share similar backgrounds – but I know my experience isn’t the same as that of my black friends, says Guardian columnist Sonia Sodha

When a black friend or colleague shares their anger at the structural racism black British people have faced, I know that my job is to listen, not to chip in, “Me too!” – I may have experienced racism over the years, but as someone of East African Asian heritage I’m more than aware it is not a patch on what my black friends have experienced.

How did she dismiss other forms of racism by not condoning violence? She was accused by supposedly intelligent MPs of not understanding racial inequality! She responded by sharing experience of just that growing up but still does not condone violence

Forms of? It's either racism or it's not. A bit like being a little bit pregnant.

You so Patronising! So just as how black people experience racism and feel Indians from the Carribbean feel the same When you're spat at hair pulled beaten up by said people and more horrendous stuff done to you You have no right to be Judgemental I Agree with Patel's answer

Some homophobic have been known to be closeted homosexual themselves

Coming from a rag newspaper that was slightly racist towards her God you clowns never learn

She shouldn’t confuse racism with people slagging her off because she’s a vile human being.

She has a history of poor empathy & attending Watford Grammar School for Girls probably didn't help

Guardian is that the excuse you use for depicting Priti Patel as a bull/cow with a ring through her nose? I think that kind of excludes you from discussing racism unless it's how to ignore or justify it like you clearly have. I am Scottish we hate tories but even we draw the line

Indians are more racist than white people.

I always find it strange when it's more acceptable for some people to have been racially abused than others. Surely you either were racially abused or you weren't, it's like being pregnant, there's no grey area.

Pretty pathetic.

Exactly what I told her.

Narrator: she didn’t dismiss other forms of racism /clickbait

Not a problem when lobbying for the tobacco industry

When and where did Priti Patel dismiss any form of racism? Stop making shit up!

pritipatel She hasn't...!

What?

is one of the most racist newspaper.

pritipatel compares schoolyard bullying to police harassment and judicial prejudice

She’s not dismissing them

Says the SnowFlake guardian

2+2=7

Or that we should forget that before Covid arrived she was in very deep water for bullying...

Diane Abbott may have experienced one form of racism. That doesn’t mean she gets to dismiss others.

She’s experienced many forms of racism! The left-liberals have resorted to calling Priti Patel a coconut (I.e. white inside). How racist is that!

This from the joke of a newspaper that employs ladyhaja the vile scumbag that openly mocked the policewoman that was seriously injured in the line of duty during last weekend's riots. ScumMedia

Didn’t sound like she dismissed any racism to me... it did however sound like she called you out on yours though... 🤨🤔 but as long as it fits in with a leftist agenda that’s ok. It’s only an issue when it’s from the “far right extremists.“ More terrible biased reporting... 🙄

I'm not racist. I hate conservative home secretaries of all races

The guardian here policing what minorities may say.

Priti is a successful, compassionate, intelligent BAME woman. And the nasty Left *hate* her for it.

This is exactly the problem others may experience radish like priori Patel but for some that is not enough and those demanding equal rights etc we already have them -Problem is people don’t want equal rights they want more rights than others , more opportunities just more

Was she dismissing others, or was she defending her own understanding because someone was accusing her of not understanding?

That doesn't mean she gets to dismiss others. Never a more true a word was spoken by Guardian Hypocrites.

The Guardian was founded by a Slave trader. The Guardian is a racist newspaper.

Ms Patel: 'saddened' that the MP 'effectively said that this govt effectively doesn't understand racial inequality' Ms Sohda: Patel is implying 'concerns about structural racism against black people do not have a basis in reality and are motivated by bad faith'. Truth?

Guardian called her a cow with a ring through the nose You guys better better shut up Shame on this punjaban Sonia for berating a persecuted community.

She gets to dismiss that vile letter and your vile and disrespectful caricature ..... it plain now who are the real racists .... your correspondent and the letter writers

oh man, the tories are turning the UK into a trash island almost the size of the British isles.

Discrimination is discrimination, there is no need to dissect it into multiple currencies of discrimination. The article only proves that there is racism within the BAME community itself. What a shame. GMB pritipatel

Ugly.

Old Labour ❌ New Labour ❌ MAO LABOUR ✅

soniasodha is a well know lefty, defending a nasty party, who has more problems than fleas. 1. NazShahBfd her history of tweeting anti semitism, 2. RT 'sexually abused white girls should shut up for diversity sake' 3. Diane Abbot, google her anti white comments.. really Sonia?

You can’t expect to eradicate one part of racism by ignoring the other parts of racism soniasodha

Racism is racism.

Wow, tell us again about all your black friends......

Support South Yemen independence

Cop thrown to the ground and all witnesses do is film it and take selfiesHome Secretary Priti Patel tweeted after seeing the footage: ‘Sickening, shocking & disgraceful. My thoughts are with the outstanding metpoliceuk officers who were subject to this disgusting violent attack.’ It was a racist attack on a white police officer by POC,if it were the other way around there would have been an enormous outcry The suspect, fat boy in blue pants, and the diddle-o with the coat should be made an example of, and jailed for 10 years ... no parole ..pritipatel That young lad actually kicked the cop in the head/shoulder, should do time for that.
