An unlikely victim of racism - what should she do?

[sp1814]

Lorraine Pascale is what successful, beautiful and fully integrated member of society.

Therefore, it seems strange that she should be a victim of racist abuse yet again (after the recent Twitter abuse).

This time however, it was to her face:

Should she 'do a Nick Griffin' and publish the name of the pub? At least that way, we can all choose whether or not to drink there.

She should. This publican clearly deserves the oxygen of publicity.

[ummmm]

What an oaf...

If it were me I'd probably name the pub but I'm not on TV.

Of course she should name the Pub imo.

Would he have said it had she been 6ft male instead of a female?

[rockyracoon]

She's just gone up in my estimations, she behaved much more graciously than I would have. Why is she picked on, what with all the twitting and now a stupid pub landlord, I really don't see how she deserves any of it, poor woman. I think she should name the pub, then the landlord can come and explain himself.

Wonder what he would have said if she told him her dad is white?
Or perhaps she should have just called the police on this obscene piice of garbage?

Absolutely disgusting, this landlord and his pub needs naming and shaming.

But in the circumstances, although it must have been most hurtful for her, she is taking the correct attitude when she states:

“It’s just about seeing the funny side of it I think. Laugh it off and feel sorry for them.”

And happy in the knowledge that all white folk are not the same, seeing that she was adopted by a white couple.

name and shame them, boorish horrible behaviour.

I don't follow the connection between her success, beauty and integration sp - all any black person needs to be racially abused is to be within ten feet of a bigot, breathing, and, oh yes, being black.
