I’m generally not sympathetic to the “victims”, but I think Hussey was pretty pushy. The woman was answering the questions. From her perspective, she was being forthright. From Hussey’s perspective, the woman was “dodging”. But if you are questioning someone and you think that they are “dodging” repeatedly, perhaps it’s best to just drop it. But Hussey charged in again and again. This was an unforced error and she was rude.
I have figured it out. She dared to touch her hair..that is a big no no for black women..especially from some old white aristocrat. See this comment

The problem is that she touched the hair ... and then cross questioned a black British woman for at least five minutes about her origins and was incredibly presumptuous. When it was clear the woman in question was not happy. The whole event was about violence against women, not a genetic convention.”
Rude, ok. But is it racism?
