Nana Akua shared her opinion on Sarah Pochin's comments

There seems to be an overstated amount of outrage over people making perfectly obvious observations. Although somehow the outrage seems only allowed on one side of the argument.

Adjoa Andoh was observing the balcony of Buckingham Palace during King Charles III's coronation and commented that it was "terribly white".


There was no real outrage initially after this comment. Those sitting with her even appeared to be in agreement. It was only because someone, somewhere pointed out that this could be seen racist that the outrage started.

Up to that point, it was perfectly acceptable and no one, not even the broadcaster, urged her to apologise immediately.

Humza Yousaf pointed out that in a country full of white people, Scotland, that a lot of people are white.

No real proper outrage. Initially, he thought it was a perfectly reasonable and fair thing to say.

But dare you be brave enough to comment the other way around? There is hell to pay.

Robert Jenrick, pointed out an observation that in a predominantly white country, there is an area that white people are in the minority.

The outrage was off the scale. The point he was making is that he wanted to live in a more integrated society.

But it's okay to say the countryside is too white. Sarah Pochin made comments about the number of people of colour in adverts in a country where the majority of people are white.

Mr Johnson was also quizzed on Robert Jenrick's remarks about not seeing "white faces" in a multicultural corner of Birmingham.

She has since apologised, saying it was not her intention to cause offence.

So firstly, I don't care what colour people are in the adverts.

I hadn't noticed until the panelist pointed this out last year and it depends on what channel you're watching in any case. .
