I don't think she is suppose to be black.
Thecoli over exaggerating shyt again.
The top minority groups in England are black folk and Indians.
I don't know much about civil rights in England especially in the 70s, but I am sure they had their own struggles.
Ol'girl is fine as hell

Let me say something on behalf of all Indians: if we identify as Indian instead of black, you say we're the white man's monkey and we hate black people etc.
If we identify as black, you clown us and don't accept us as your brothers.
So what the hell are we supposed to do? I'm all for minority unity but it seems with the Coli militant folk, no matter what we do it's not good enough, whether that's seeking unity with black people or going our own way.
Love and loyalty is dead
Imagine if Samuel L Jackson left his wife after Pulp Fiction to marry some rich cac chic...

live and learn and move on and gain new experiences.
Some of yal really should take the time to check historya little bit of googling and wikipedia never hurt anyone
A few seconds into the trailer you can see it's not set in the US. I'm guessing most of the people reacting have zero knowledge on the racial and sociopolitical climate of London in the 70's. For all we know her character is based on a real Indian women. Maybe them being in an interracial relationship is part of the story
Took me 1 minute to check imdb and see that her character has an Indian name. There's multiple Indian people in the cast so I'm assuming that this is something unique to London at the time.
This is hilarious!!!

My heartstrings are pulled...
My post was in response to the numerous posts referring to Indians being lumped in as black in GB and participating in the "struggle" which is true and was already known by me since I studied this stuff in college.
However, lets call a spade a spade here. The identification was by force, not choice and since then the South Asian community has adjusted accordingly.
