Were Nigel Farages comments about Romanians racist? Nigel Farages comments about Romanians have been branded racist by the shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, a former shadow minister, Diane Abbott, and the prominent Labour MP David Lammy, after the Ukip leader said people might not want to live next door to immigrants from the eastern European country. Just hours after Ed Miliband said Farage had made a racial slur but was not racist, his view was contradicted by Lammy. The MP, whose parents are from Guyana, told the BBCs Daily Politics that Farages comments reminded him of the racism encountered by his mother and father when they first came to the UK. theguardian/politics/2014/may/19/nigel-farage-racist-yvette-cooper-david-lammy
