Is it offensive if someone mistakes you for another Asian?

Has someone ever mistaken you for another Asian at work or where you study? Does it offend you?

Is it offensive if someone mistakes you for another Asian? We’re asking this after TV presenter Anita Rani tweeted about her experience of being called Saira Khan outside an awards ceremony, is this something you can relate with? After that, Nihal will be speaking to Adnan Ebrahim and Alex Kersten from the Car Throttle website. We’ll then hear from our weekly sports panel who will be discussing the controversy surrounding Serena Williams’ row with umpire Carlos Ramos. Later Nihal will be speaking to Omar Ahmed, the curator of the Not Just Bollywood film festival in Manchester.
