A BRADFORD TV doctor has revealed his own experiences of casual racism and called for it to stop.
Dr Amir Khan, a regular on daytime TV programmes including Good Morning Britain and Lorraine, took to social media to reveal his own experiences of racism.
He was speaking in light of revelations made by the Duke of Duchess of Sussex following their TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
In the programme the royal couple hinted at racist remarks made by an unnamed member of the Royal family.
In a heartfelt message, Dr Amir tweeted:
Trying to be positive today but hard with what’s going on

“Casual” racism isn’t a thing, it’s just racism
The number of times I’ve been told that I’m “well spoken” or “very articulate” by someone who was expecting so much less from me because of my colour
It needs to stop
