Radio host Nick Ferrari has been criticised after claiming he is a “person of colour” during a debate about racism.

The white LBC presenter was hosting a segment on his show in response to reports in the Times that NHS leaders are being offered non-mandatory courses on micro-aggression behaviour.

One course, called "Awareness of your intent" is focused on "creating social justice" and is delivered by Nova Reid, who has previously said that "regular exposure to racial micro-aggressions can cause more harm than overt acts of hate".

If he is Italian, he may very well have African DNA, from many years ago.

[SauronOfMordor]

He is a person of color. White is a color. So is pink.

Black, on the other hand, is the absence of color.

I have met some Italians who do not consider themselves as ‘White’. They will say ‘I’m Italian.
Same with some people of Irish descent. They will choose
‘Irish’ as their race.
This may be due to both being treated pretty badly at the turn of the 20th Century, when it was accepted for employers to openly discriminate.

If he’s Sicilian, the Moors of North Africa occupied Sicily for about 250 years.

Liz Warren gets to claim she’s an American Indian...

Yeah like Mike Tirico the sports announcer, everybody says he's "black" except for himself saying he's Italian.

If he’s Sicilian, the Moors of North Africa occupied Sicily for about 250 years.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

This is tiresome.

If it’s culturally acceptable to “self identify” as a different gender it’s certainly culturally appropriate to “self identify” as a different race, c’mon man.

Put a Nick in my Ferrari and be prepared for a lawsuit to pay the cost of repair.

His reward, worst street in every city in the United States…

Best 5 minutes of movie making ever.

“worst street in every city in the United States”

It’s nice to know which areas to avoid.
