OMG Miriam Margolyes Andi Peters

@Temptree
Looks like living in the USA and breathing the air of obvious racism that permeates that country completely has gotten into her way of how she views/thinks of us black folk
"High Yella" anyone?
Alongside the "inclusive" comment too 😖
You mean there's a colour chart with which you can tell where we're exactly from and our heritage?
Never thought much of her "naughty favourite auntie" act to start with and found this really offensive
But admired Andi Peters for the way he handled her
Not too sure I could've honestly done so myself......

Has anyone put the clip up? I was wondering what the op meant and looked, perhaps I missed it.

She asked if he was mixed race in a pleasant, curious manner, he said he wasn’t & she said they call his colour tone ‘high yella’ in America. He laughed & seemed interested to hear that. A normal conversation, nothing rude said, just a question. She’s just herself, genuine, likeable.

Yes, that was the only report I could see. I was expecting more than that.

I've got an annual leave day today and am spending the morning shamelessly on the sofa watching daytime TV with cups of tea and biscuits after an exhausting school summer hols. Kids back at school today. I've given myself permission to vegetate till 3:15pm.

You know you don't need to justify why you're watching telly.
I understand that it was to preempt all the "Oh I wish I had time to watch daytime telly" bores, but I was skim reading your post thinking jeez woman....get to the point!

And conveniently for her, her feud with John Cleese has been resurrected. Loads of results about that.

This is the only report I've found.

OMG! People are so easily offended these days. I personally do not like Miriam, that is why I choose not to watch her. What I dislike even more these days, is the fact we all have to watch what we are saying, for fear of offending anyone. It is called a sense of humour. If you are easily offended, turn the TV off or do not read the newspapers. Simple!

Its quite remarkable isnt it, the silence around this

If this was Boris, Farage, Hopkins, Starkey any of your usual hate figures who blurt things out/tell it like it is/talk the talk there would be very loud condemnation, thread after thread, talk of being cancelled, the Guardian would run a po faced article about what this means about racism in our society, blah blah blah

What has been said in newspapers about her today? What has Norton said, he's a champion of her? What have her friends said? Other actors?

In a work context? You've had meetings at work and asked a Black person about their parentage and used a racist term to them? In front of others?
Actually why is it relevant if anyone is mixed race? why would you ask them in any context? That person on the Facebook link was correct though. People shouldn't have kept inviting her on things when they know what she's like. She's a gross attention seeker and now she's done it on daytime TV.

You think she's funny desperately talking about her farts, or 'creaming her knickers' or telling Daniel Radcliffe bizarrely that his balls had dropped?

She is a silly attention seeker and I'm really surprised her 'what are you' question to Peters hasn't been widely and loudly condemned by high profile commentators in the media.

What is offensive about that?

It's incredible isn't it. What a patronising, stupid woman. 'It's about inclusion isn't it, its all in my book' 🙄.

There’s a few of these knocking around now too , it’s an excruciating watch , has made me feel anxious, especially having been on the receiving end of similar

Haha, she always makes me laugh, as does Graham Norton.

I think it's quite o.k. to ask people if they are mixed race, I myself have one and many women and friends I know do too. They come in all shades.
You would never guess that a high-blonde with a very dark-skinned adult son were in anyway related.
Where I live there's all kinds of mixed race (adult) kids, asian, african, south american.

Mumsnetters getting their knickers in a twist.....
