“I will continue to educate myself on the rich history and culture of South Asia and the struggles faced by its people. I am committed to doing better, being a better ally and using my platform to uplift marginalised voices
“I realise that my words have consequences and as a public figure I have a responsibility to use my platform for good rather than perpetuating discrimination – and this week I have failed to do this.
“Privately I have taken the time to engage in very early conversations with some people from South Asian communities and will continue to do so in the coming weeks and months
