'Coconut' placard: Is it ok to use the term?

Marieha Hussain, a former teacher, has been found not guilty of racially aggravated public order offence.

She was thrust into the media spotlight after holding a placard at a protest depicting former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman as coconuts.

It’s a word that is sometimes used about a person of colour, to imply a betrayal of their ethnicity.

Marieha joined Naga Munchetty to discuss the impact the case has had on her and her family

Naga also spoke to Professor Kehinde Andrews and campaigner Femi Oluwole about the meaning of the word.

This item broadcast on Naga Munchetty’s programme on Tuesday 8 October 2024.
