All over the news, she's being portrayed as "a great role model for young British Muslims".
While she probably is, why does this even need to be a thing? When the Aussie guy won the Apprentice, was he feted as a great role model for Aussies in Britain?
Is this a media thing? And if it is, doesn't it just create barriers and an us-v-them mentality? -

I was just wondering why she was being feted as a "British Muslim role model", and why when other minorities (eg Australians) win competitions they aren't also feted as being role models for their communities, and whether this distinction is media-driven and/or highlighting an "us vs them" mentality.Comment

I don't watch any tulip reality tv programmes, so they can stuff their soggy bottoms where the sun don't shineSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment
