Perhaps. I sincerely apologise for whatever lack of understanding I might evince, but hasten to point out that I agree the title was unwisely phrased.

I might have a shadow of an understanding, because I am a child of the Commonwealth and because I have many Bengali, Sindhi, Punjabi, Arab, Sikh, Indian and Malay employees.

In fact, my chief lieutenant is a North African Arab.

I might have the shadow of an understanding but, you're right, I have not personally experienced the prejudice and could only imagine it based on what I have been told by my companions and subordinates.
