Lady Bushra, aka Amir Dean, has faced significant backlash from the queer South Asian community following a recent cameo on BBC's Blankety Blank. After just a 15-minute segment, she felt targeted by racist and derogatory comments reflecting racial bias. While accustomed to homophobic criticism, this experience was particularly surprising for her. She highlighted the hypocrisy of criticism directed at her public appearances versus relentless media presence of others, questioning the underlying motivation behind such discriminatory remarks. Bushra emphasized the need for the community to unite against these challenges.
I just think that in that person's mind there's a glass ceiling for someone like me and I don't think that exists.
So there's a limit to how often I, a brown woman of colour, be seen but David Attenborough is out relentlessly shoving nature down our throats? Hypocrisy!
