One of the questions which is on the unacceptable list on campus is to ask a 'Person of Colour' where they are really from. In other words, if they are Black British, Asian British etc once they say "I'm from Birmingham," the question follows implying that their origin as a migrant or parents'/grandparents' must be where they are really from. This therefore suggests that they don't belong here.
Has anyone actually heard this? Does it seem likely that this is a real question? It sounds like the kind of thing that the woke brigade think is asked. But it is extremely unlikely that this is actually a real question. If it is, how many times and on how many campuses has it been asked?
I have never seen a reply to this. But its existence is assumed. Has anybody heard it? Do tell. I have often heard a British Asian asking another British Asian "Where are you from?"-meaning where (often a village in Azad Kashmir) did your family originally live?
