LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hello,
I want to express my disgust at reading the title of your article about Harpreeet Kaur. (British brown girl wins The Apprentice, gets funding for business, March 25, 2022). The article is credited to Asia Samachar so I assume you are responsible for describing Harpreet as a “British brown girl”.
Instead of using such an offensive and racist description, why on earth did AS not instead use a similar description to the one it used about her in Jan 12, 2022. By contrast, your other article of the same person reads i.e. “Harpreet Kaur wins The Apprentice and gets business funding“?

It is indeed demeaning an and insultingly RACIST.
Knew the depth of knowledge AS editors or an editor posses abt Affairs often.
If within UK such headline would have been reportable to the Commission for Racial Equality abd the publications watchdog.
The lady in question ckd have reported directly to the police.
I m surprised it’s so called British contributors are silent and oblivious to such racist language describing as “brown girl” for one of their country girls.
An apology from AS would b deemed as polite, and common sense.
Failing that, readers may judge just how low a standard it projects.
