You're a Tory, you just don't know it yet - @SamanthaAsumadu
samanthaasumadu.substack.com/p/youre-a-tory…
'If you live in Britain and unless you are Sikh or Muslim, you are a Tory. I've not excluded black people and Jews from this sweeping generalisation as it's a bit more complicated for us. White supremacy made it more complicated.'
(if you read to the end of the post you will understand why I exempted British Muslims and Sikhs (in the main) from being Tories, so stick with me. This is all fresh. As usual.)

'As a mixed-race woman, in the game of racial Top Trumps my blackness always wins' Leo Shire mediadiversified.org/2015/03/23/as-…
'The idea of ‘race’ has no fixed definition considering the term has no biological basis. Yet all of us from minority backgrounds know what it is to be racialised, to be lumped together into a group with others who share our physical attributes,
for this to be conflated with our ethnicity – our shared culture, history and experience. What does this mean for those of us who are mixed-race? Could it be argued that the shared experience of being racialised as ‘mixed’ creates a ‘mixed-race’ ethnicity of sorts?

Been watching any TV this Easter holiday? Did you notice The Racial Pecking Order? #MDClassics fb.me/6wzkOIft1
'Name me a leading classical British actor and you can bet your bottom shilling they’ve done “period drama”. A genre that is all but off-limits to actors of colour. Some might well protest that Downton Abbey recently featured a black character. One.
And the news of his casting made headlines. So we can easily see what a major decision and talking point it is to introduce any actor of colour to a production of this kind.

The Nationality and Borders Bill raises uncomfortable questions about our "British" Identity mediadiversified.org/2022/01/10/the…
'The #NationalityandBordersBill 2021 with its proposed laws making it easier to deprive Black and Asian people in particular of British citizenship provides a practical opportunity to confront the comforting lies we tell ourselves about what it means for us to be British,
..and how British lawmakers have always defined our sense of identity and belonging.

May 1st 2016: 'Last week, guerrilla projectionists lit up the Australian Embassy in London with the faces of three recently deceased young men, each of whom died while under the ‘care’ of the Australian government in its offshore refugee detention system. ImageImageImage
..The protest is all the more potent after another detained refugee died on Friday. 23-year-old Iranian refugee Omid set himself on fire last Wednesday during a visit by UN officials to the Australian offshore detention centre on Nauru.
As he set himself alight, Omid cried out, ‘This is how tired we are, this action will prove how exhausted we are. I cannot take it anymore‘.  His death comes after reported delays in providing him with appropriate medical care.

2015: Letting migrants drown in the Mediterranean, is this what the Tories mean by ‘British values’? mediadiversified.org/2015/04/16/let… #MDClassics
“Britain has lived its long life as an exemplary country, the small island with a massive impact”.

Less than twenty-four hours after David Cameron made this empire-esque declaration at the Conservative’s manifesto launch,
the latest reality of Britain’s brutal impact on the world appeared in newspapers. 400 migrants were reported to have drowned yesterday in the Mediterranean Sea; just months after Britain withdrew support for rescue operations.
