Why is it okay to be racist to Right-wingers? I detest the Left's double standards

RISHI Sunak reacted to a Channel 4 undercover investigation that found a Reform campaigner calling him a “f***ng P***”with a heartfelt response about how upset and angry he was that his daughters had to hear him being called such things in this country.

It was interesting but not surprising that Rishi focused on his daughters rather than himself, because as a Tory person of colour he is not afforded the “privilege” to be impacted by racism. In what is one of the most bizarre examples of Left-wing mainstream political culture in this country, it has become acceptable that when a Conservative politician is racially abused people just seem to turn a blind eye and move on — or worse, actually justify the abuse because Tories of colour are seen as some kind of race traitors.

Last week I saw more people calling out Rishi and saying he had no right to complain about being abused because he was a Tory, than calling out the abuse and the abuser. But again I was not surprised, because two years ago Rupa Huq said that Kwasi Kwarteng, the then-chancellor, was “superficially black”, adding: “If you hear him on the Today programme you wouldn’t know he’s black.”
