British journalist and author Gary Younge has hit out at Kemi Badenoch’s claim that Britain is the best place to be Black, saying the remarks suggest that ethnic minorities should “be happy with the racism we have”.
The multi-award-winner, 54, a professor of sociology at the University of Manchester, said Ms Badenoch’s comments, made at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, were “unhelpful” because they effectively ranked racism – while ignoring the fact that it is “not very good anywhere”.
