Some years ago we were in Europe, saw this absolutely gorgeous girl having lunch near us. I couldn't take my eyes of her because she really was beautiful. She happened to be black, that didn't matter. |

Like that Scottish seikh chef. That accent is not supposed to come out from under a turban. |

Oh come on Sharron, have you only just noticed that people with darker skin sometimes have 'UK' accents? |

If you live in an area where the accent/dialect isn't very strong, and someone comes along with a really strong, amazing accent, It's not necessarily the colour of the skin - it's the unexpectedness! |

Apologies I should have said this earlier but became tied up in a rather long conference call. |

I read somewhere within the last few months of a woman with a very complicated African style surname who claimed we were all racist as we didn’t know how to pronounce the name but appeared not to explain how to say it. |
