Comment on ‘I’m British, British Asian, English’, says Rishi Sunak in riposte to racially charged debate over identity

This feels really conflicting. Of course I agree he is Englosh and he should not be on the receiving end of racism, nobody should.

His government, however, actively boosted racist messaging on immigration, so I can’t help but feel he is at least in part to blame politically for this.

The reason this feels difficult is because I worry this feels a bit like victim blaming, although again I really do want emphasise how much the conservatives have helped boost the far right and racist views.
