A post on a local forum describes a woman knocking on people's doors asking for money to get to hospital to see her sister and warns local residents that the person seemed suspicious and they assume it is a scam.

Description includes approx height, hairstyle, slim build, and mentions person seems to be afro caribbean ethnicity.

A few people reply saying thanks for the warning, I've seen this person before bla bla.

Then someone replies Unfortunately a lot of Africans tend to do this - I have had the same problem- please don’t give any money to them

Is the last post racist?

No worries Dottie, I agree it is a pretty stupid question! But as always different people have different views, and I find mumsnet a really useful barometer for getting views outside my own echo chamber
