I don’t think you said anything wrong Kazanne. You were actually saying most doctors are clearly capable regardless of their race and got message has been twisted. I also am rubbish at understanding any accent to be honest

No one was looking for drama I assure you. I personally find it hard to understand some accents so you can’t be faulted for that. I too am deaf in one ear and have difficulty understanding some accents like the Scottish and Welsh.

I love Scotland and Wales so don’t take it the wrong way

Nobody will take it the wrong way, we all struggle with some regional accents and no one bats an eyelid except when the person is black, then we are all racists for struggling

Skin colour doesn’t define how well you speak English though. You can be brown, black, orange, pink, pistachio and speak fluent English.

I was speaking about black people who are not English natives? nobody can say a word if they can't understand them? yet we can quite openly and rightly so say we cant understand say a Scottish person whose first language is English

Nobody said it was racist to struggle with another person's accent.

I get that but some are just so eager to pull someone up for anything , its hard to know what to say or call anyone now as I recently quite innocently called someone 'coloured' and got an infraction for it , so just how are we supposed to describe people I will probably now get another infraction because I used that naughty word

Its pretty well understood now that that's not a term that's appropriate and it is offensive to many people, its not hard not to use it

twisting the meaning of posters words, and passive aggressively targeting them to meet your own agenda, is not the spirit of good debate

Well, yeah, if you'd have said "Black people speak bad English" that would've been wrong.
