Here she is in the Commons today,  recounting an occasion when the Guardian caricatured her as a 'fat cow' 😂

Funny, but she's being hugely disingenuous & playing the victim to characterise it as 'racist'... when the paper drew Boris Johnson, a white upper class male, the exact same way.

It's a clear fallacy.   You plainly can't claim something is 'racially motivated' when your white male colleague is caricatured alongside you in the exact same way.   

Patel is implying that drawing ANY British Asian woman as a cow is racist, regardless of context or company.  She is implicitly demanding special treatment;  demanding an immunity from ever being mocked in any way historically related to a racist trope. 

It would be like a Jewish person with an exceptionally large nose claiming their personal inclusion in a caricature piece alongside gentiles with similarly big noses is somehow antisemitic. 

Boris was drawn as a cow by a left wing illustrator because he is overweight and a Tory .  But clearly Priti was drawn as a cow not because she is also fat and a Tory,  but to make a subtle racist point about Hindus and Cows?  Hillarious 😂

She's implicitly claiming historical context should shield her from certain avenues of comparison or mockery -  even if said avenues are not, in their individual cases, motivated by racism.  

Digustingly narcasstic, disingenuous behaviour.  What's commonly known as 'dishonestly playing the race card'. 

don't care. it's just embarrassing watching the MP's trying to compete with their racism stories. oppression olympics. so oppressed they were made MP's.
