      The guys @RoryStewartUK randomly accused of being criminals have found out - and aren't very happy about it. Wonder if he will apologise?https://twitter.com/_FishMilk/status/1187724913559441408 …

      He absolutely should apologise. You don’t just called Black men - you ask to talk to you in the street to promote your campaign - gangsters.

      Sorry “minor gangsters”. Also shows issue with post colonial attitudes as well @omaromalleykhan - can be widely read, travelled, worked all over, speak languages. &praised for it (eg speaking dari, knowing your chai). But don’t realise it is always from a position of dominance.

      It also exposes one of the serial weaknesses of current stereotyped views on racism: that it's just a marginal issue, and that only uneducated far right extremists are affected. The tropes abt the inhumanity of particular grps are always the same, ie the criminality of black ppl

          in order to poke fun at myself as a politician in an awkward encounter. I am really sorry for causing offence. Thank you also to @DavidLammy for raising this too. I am really sorry.

          Are you sorry for assuming black men were gangsters? Or just that people were offended that you did so?

          I think another point is, you not only don’t understand young black guys, it’s clear from this you don’t understand young Londoners period. I know you mean well but you have a huge learning curve to claim to truly represent a wider demographic than the one you are familiar with.

          Exactly this. Given the nature of the Mayoral job would add too big a learning curve.

          You said something really racist. This isn't a small thing. Describing men as gangsters just because they're black is deeply racist.
