Abbott possibly calculated this so that she could attach to Corbyn's party.

She might be brighter than you think.

The point she was making was that racism has more than one angle. Your skin colour, she says (or at least means), has different motivation from slagging off Muslims or Jews. She actually has a point.

Abbott’s on the loony left, but she is consistently on the loony left and she never says or does anything that’s absolutely consistent with that. Nobody should be surprised at her saying this sort of stuff.

The Labour leadership suddenly getting so intolerant of its long-term, long-tolerated loony fringe is, however, surprising.

It's not what she originally said.

Tomiwa Owolade claims that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people all suffer from “racism” (“Racism in Britain is not a black and white issue. It’s far more complicated”, Comment). They undoubtedly experience prejudice. This is similar to racism and the two words are often used as if they are interchangeable.

It is true that many types of white people with points of difference, such as redheads, can experience this prejudice. But they are not all their lives subject to racism. In pre-civil rights America, Irish people, Jewish people and Travellers were not required to sit at the back of the bus. In apartheid South Africa, these groups were allowed to vote. And at the height of slavery, there were no white-seeming people manacled on the slave ships.

She didn't say they experienced racism differently. She said they don't face racism but instead face prejudice. Compared it to having red hair and said they haven't faced the kind of structural racism that existed in South Africa and pre-civil rights America, as if there isn't a big example of that being untrue in recent history.
