If the racism occurred in the UK then the perpetrators have committed a criminal offence.

I met her in the past, it was just when that short spell of fame had got to her. I was her waiter couple of times. She is rude, racist & worst person to deal with. So were all her friends. I knew she won’t last & now she comes with shit like this. Attention bullshit!

Is there any area of society where racism does not play a part? yet the arrogant Brits claim everything is fine in the world of GB How blind and deaf they are

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY told her she needs to bleach her skin. Unfortunately, Alexandra Burke fails to mention names.

If it was a problem she should have spoken up about when it happened - when it could have been of help to others facing racism. Maybe stardom and riches were too big a draw in comparison to doing the right thing? Bandwagon.

She’s not alone... M y S t o r y: Top TV Execs: “YOU’RE TALENTED, BUT YOU’RE BLACK”. 😔

Black people are overrepresented in the music industry consisting their percentage in the population. It is clearly not a problem honestly.

Perma victim. Black people are massively over represented in British entertainment.

Black people are overrepresented in the music industry considering their percentage in the population. It is clearly not a problem honestly.

Maybe you`re not that good. Is this the guardian comic trying to make up for its slave trading past?

Can she sing then?

She won X Factor, record contract and broke a European record for single sales. Clearly being black wasn't an issue to overcome.

Lol, anything for attention, careers over, get used to it.

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Black people are over represented in the music industry. Can't be that racist can it...

Does she mean like MOBO?

I fucking knew she’d pipe up 😂

Jump and bandwagon come to mind.....

Me too
