I don't think he's racist .....


Although his comment to Mrs T about sending photos home to Botswana could be interpreted as such. Have only seen him one scene with Sid where he seemed genuinely impressed with his Antibiotics campaign. Don't think he and Ayesha have had a scene together yet (?). I think he is insecure with her presence and is just a bully!

I was wondering about his seeming fine with Sid and Ayesha, and I would presume also Ruhma but then I thought that Mrs Tembe is the only staff member from abroad and with a foreign accent so you never know.

I wouldn't say Anthony's comment about sending the pics to Botswana was too suspect but the scene where he was talking to Jimmi when he said about her pics: "I'm going to put them on file and in a month or two we'll do another leaflet about all the work we do in the community and with various minority groups", which appeared to leave Jimmi slightly uncomfortable. Not that what he said was malicious on the surface, it's just the way he sort of connected her to such a thing. Can't really put my finger on it yet but we'll see I guess.

Could his issue be that she's an immigrant?

He's definitely schmoozing everyone else, while trying to get rid of Mrs T in a very clever way that no one could object to....don't trust him an inch!
