Being born a colour shouldn't put one in the history books, it's what they do once they've gotten in power that tells the tale.
However, considering her age, I get the feeling she's just a scapegoat that'll make Starmer cringe for not being the typical aristocrat Tory he's used to bashing.
Originally posted by Nuke NixonBadenoch is anti-woke and wants restrictions on immigration, so Starmer can't play the "you're racist" card when she's black, nor can he play the "you don't understand British culture" card because then he'd look racist. It's a pretty good poker move.
A lot of people in UK forums call her divisive and neo-fascist that doesn't sound like this is any different from having Harris as US president just because woman of colour.
Harris, on the other hand, was a decent judge on the supreme court who got shoehorned in for being a woman. I think her skin tone had very little to do with it, honestly.
