Boris Johnson has mocked minority groups his entire career.
He called black people “picaninnies,” gay people “bumboys” and now Muslim women “letter boxes”.
Either he holds these prejudices, which is bad, or he pretends to for his own gain, which is even worse.

Meanwhile Boris Johnson has described women as “emotional...blubbing blondes,” who only go to university “to find men to marry” and who should be “pat on the bottom” and sent on their way. uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
All of this was documented by his own hand at the time and has been repeatedly dismissed ever since by the same people who are now dismissing his Islamophobic comments about Muslim women, all because “Boris will be Boris” and he’s just one of the boys.
Whereas the truth is that if he wasn’t one of the boys, didn’t write for the same papers and didn’t share the same sex, race, and class as his defenders, then his career would have been over a dozen times already.
