He and his friends started laughing as they did this, all while deliberately avoiding eye contact and denying me the chance to confront them," they wrote in an Instagram post.

Person A said she was subjected to xenophobic behaviour from colleagues, including Miss Njoku, while working in a respiratory ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington in 2021. Person A said the senior nurse called her a Polish cow, Polish idiot, swine nose, stupid old cow and an old woman and complained to managers but no investigation took place. Person A said the encounter left them feeling very nervous whenever Miss Njoku was on duty

The administration launched an account in August weeks before the president struck a deal to save the social-media app from a ban he started. The first post from the official account (not to be confused with the personal account Donald Trump mostly abandoned after the 2024 campaign) featured the president declaring, "I am your voice!" So what does the Trump White House's TikTok voice sound like several months in?

Garza alleges he was fired in January after he raised concerns about comments made by Martin Bally, Campbell's vice-president of information technology including referring to one of the company's ingredients as bioengineered meat while going off on a racist tirade. The lawsuit recounts that Garza met with Bally in November 2024 to discuss his salary. However, Garza alleges, the meeting turned into an hour-long rant by Bally during which he disparaged the quality of Campbell's products and customers, made racist comments about Indian employees and admitted to coming to work while high on marijuana edibles.

The UK and Ireland are entering a dark time, according to the singer Joy Crookes, who said the influence of far-right ideology on mainstream politics was comparable to the 1970s when the National Front was at its peak. Crookes, who has just played two sold-out shows at the O2 Academy in Brixton, said the recent wave of nationalism and the far-right march through central London in September made her feel unsafe in the UK.

Last month, Politico released a bombshell report featuring multiple leaked texts from Paul Ingrassia, then President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel. In those texts, Ingrassia told colleagues that he had a Nazi streak and made a number of other racist remarks. While criticizing former presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy in 2024, for example, Ingrassia said, Never trust a chinaman or Indian. A day later, Ingrassia announced he was withdrawing from an upcoming Senate hearing.

John Bryan claimed in a statement on Facebook that his messages were 'intended to be humour', adding that the media made them into something they weren't

Meet Danielle Peck, the (now former) Legal Recruiting Director at Biglaw firm Holland & Knight. She's about to learn that life comes at you fast - especially when you're caught on camera throwing around a racial slur... with a particularly hard -R. Now, we don't know exactly what led up to Peck's confrontation with the driver of the truck, but one thing is abundantly clear: using the n-word is never acceptable, no matter the circumstances.

There's been a surprise leadership change, a Miss Universe director yelling at a contestant on camera, racist remarks from a former winner - and that was just in the past week. All the bad press has brought renewed international attention to a brand that came under fire just last year after former CEO Anne Jakrajutatip appeared to laugh at contestants' photos on Instagram Live and praised one titleholder's blond hair and blue eyes as "the best here."

inappropriate and offensive comments have no place in our Senedd or society more widely

If you want to understand the state of Germany in these last weeks of 2025, grasping the meaning of two entries in the German dictionary are essential: stadtbild and haftbefehl. The first term technically means cityscape. But since chancellor Friedrich Merz gave a speech in the state of Brandenburg on 14 October, it has taken on a new political meaning. We have come far with migration, he said, but of course we still have this problem in our stadtbild.

Many had been introduced to Spurs through Son Heung-min, the beloved South Korean superstar. When Son was appointed captain in 2023 he became the first Asian player to lead a Premier League team, a boost not only for his already significant profile but that of Tottenham. For more than a decade, he brought a flow of Asian fans to Spurs matches.

According to the Liberian government, the decision to welcome Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported from the United States in March only to return under a court injunction in June, follows its longstanding tradition of offering refuge to those in need. Liberia was once a semi-autonomous territory funded in part by the Washington, DC-based American Colonisation Society (ACS) comprising powerful white men who viewed free Blacks as a threat to slavery and saw emigration (deportation) as the only solution to dispose of them.

When the cashier said she was exhausted from working extra shifts to make some money for Christmas, the man behind me chipped in that it would be worse once she takes all our money (in case Rachel Reeves was wondering, her budget pitch-rolling is definitely cutting through). Routine enough, if he hadn't gone on to add that she and the rest of the government needed taking out, and that there were plenty of ex-military men around who should know what to do, before continuing in more graphic fashion until the queue fell quiet and feet began shuffling.

The official White House website has unveiled a page called "mysafespace: a place for dems", whose sole purpose is to make fun of Democrats and blame them for the ongoing shutdown. The page is meant to mimic a MySpace blog, with an "About me" section describing Congressional Democrats as folks who "love DEI, transgender for everyone, and handing out taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants."

Mexican word of the day: JUICY. Tell me if juicy ICE coming.

Cast your mind back to the furore when the shadow justice secretary, Robert Jenrick, was revealed to have said that he didn't see another white face in the Handsworth area of Birmingham. It was reported as if it would be of real consequence to his political future but enough time has passed, I figure, to confirm that it was not. Why did some seriously consider this a turning point?

While some costumes are obviously socially unacceptable, in extremely bad taste or both, France has actual legislation on this matter and some fancy dress can be punishable by hefty fines and even prison sentences. If you are planning a costume party or trying to come up with your déguisement (fancy dress) then you should know that certain outfits, insignia and accessories are illegal in France.

On Friday, Pochin, who is Reform UK's MP for Runcorn and Helsby, complained that every advert seemed to feature black and Asian people, as she responded to a viewer on TalkTV who had complained about the demographics of advertising. Pochin said the viewer was absolutely right, adding it doesn't reflect our society and I feel that your average white person, average white family is not represented any more, blaming the woke liberati in the arty-farty world.

Party chief Peadar Tóibín 'shocked and disgusted' after bigoted posts from private chat exposed Aontú has sacked the leader of its youth wing and dismissed five other members after it learnt of the existence of ­secret WhatsApp groups where some Ógra Aontú members posted racist and antisemitic comments. The Sunday Independent has seen a collection of the inflammatory posts that led Aontú to dismiss six members of its youth wing from the party, while three others remain suspended pending further investigation.

In the last two seasons we've seen quite a visibly massive increase, around the 100 per cent mark,

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Mr Neilson was recorded by the BBC referring to an "invasion" of "scum" from the Middle East, and made offensive comments about people from Algeria and Somalia. He is the first of 10 current or former officers to face a hearing as part of the Met's accelerated misconduct proceedings over footage recorded during the Panorama investigation. In it, he was also observed saying a detainee who had overstayed his visa should have a "bullet through his head".

That's a lesson attorney Shannon Kobylarczyk is learning the hard way. Kobylarczyk *was* the associate general counsel at ManpowerGroup, a staffing agency. But that changed after she attended Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Kobylarczyk, a Brewers fan bedecked in all the gear, was upset when the Dodgers took a 3-1 lead and took that anger out on a Dodgers fan in the stadium.

MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his 'holiday' should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs.

It's bad enough that our sitting president sits up in either the Oval Office or in some golf cart somewhere, posting racist and/or Democrat-hating AI-generated videos during a time that would be better spent - oh, I don't know - running a country that is currently operating without a funded federal government. But, since Trump has been back in office, the social media feeds the White House and other federal agencies have also become little more than government-run 4chan threads for MAGA rubes who communicate their political ideologies through memes because they don't read books.
