Dear Editor,
The controversy about the conversation between Lady Susan Hussey and Ms. Ngozi Fulani can be attributed to confusion between nationality and citizenship in Western Europe. They are often used as though they were synonyms. However, in Eastern Europe citizenship is conferred by legal process, place of birth or acquired by naturalisation. Nationality is acquired by heredity – parentage.
When Lady Hussey asked where Ms Fulani was from, Ms Fulani replied that she was born in the United Kingdom and that she was British. There seems to be no doubt that she is a British Citizen but Lady Hussey clarified what she was asking by asking where her people (ancestors) were from. This seems to have been regarded as an intrusive question by Ms. Fulani but there is no evidence to suggest that it was motivated by hostility. Perhaps Lady Hussey thought that information about Ms Fulani’s ancestry would be much more interesting than about her place of birth in the United Kingdom. Indeed her surname would indicate connection with one of the smaller tribes in Northern Nigeria.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Brons
Many now suspect the entire fiasco was a set up. And after all, if White liberals in the media jump when Black people whistle, then the latter can be confident that all it takes is one word- “racism” and indeed the university brainwashed libs at the Guardian and Co will be jumping like there is no tomorrow.
Exactly, being born in a stable doesn’t make you a horse. Being British is in the blood, the character the soul, the same for Italians, French and Irish. Even in Wales, if you are born there of English parents, most Welsh would regard you as English or British but not ethnically Welsh. The Welsh are proud of their Gorsedds, poems, singing. Nationalism is not complicated.
