Thought I'd typed it, sorry.

"I dress poor so I don't get robbed by motherfuckers like you and smelly fucking Nigerians."

He called her a "white princess" and "Kate Middleton".

Up to the individual to decide whether those comments are racist. There is definite xenophobia in the Nigeria comment so I wouldn't put it past her meaning black people with the 'motherfuckers like you' comment.

EDIT - Forgot to add, the 'racist' is there as I lifted the headline from the Daily Mail (UK tabloid reporting this story) so that's why I put the asterisk there.
