Prove it. Back up the allegation that this is deliberate racism. Or stop talking nonsense.
Sorry, I should have made it more clear. I was being sarcastic. Of course she's not racist. She's a mixed race American woman who actually seems completely lovely. I'm with you on this. Calling her racist is an absurd reaction.

Obviously she would say something like that - she has an act in the final

Apparently at dress rehearsals, Nicole has been urging voters to Take Back Control and Make England Great Again by voting for Matt Terry.
Matt Terry is gonna save £350 million pounds to save on the NHS.

As much as I despise what Nicole said yesterday I find this information a bit hard to believe. No link, no proof.

She did open a can of worms last night though. I don't think Nicole is racist but she'll clearly willing to batter the british 1st mentality. Very unattractive.

Poor Nicole, that backfired - she managed to alienate the whole of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in one short sentence. Oops!

It was unnecessary. She knew what she was insinuating.

So why not an all English panel leaving Nicole out? or does she think patriotism applies to contestants only?

Where did I say that Nicole is a racist? I didn't because I don't think she is.

It's not just Nicole. They did an England v Scotland theme when it was down to Sam Bailey and Nicholas. Even Louis turned up in an awful tartan suit. As if making Nicholas sing Candy in the final wasn't enough. He didn't stand a chance.

Is the statement not Patriotic or Nationalistic rather than racist? There is no English race but there may be an English Nation.

Especially when Louis told everyone to vote Sam when down to the final 2

If Nicole did just think of saying that on the spur of the moment (and wasn't told to say it), I don't think she would have meant it in a sinister way. It could have just been a poor choice of words.

This will damage her reputation - a bit.

She already seems a little desperate and has poor judgement .

She will never be a successful recording star - that's what she's trying to cling on to, by hijacking people's duets, etc.

Some things are best left unsaid

It was calculated and planned...she even pauses for emphasis as she says it for maximum effect.

Perhaps this photo from last night can shed some light on her motivation?

There's been more racism happening since Brexit happened and that's why that might have a bigger impact. I just think that maybe it was used because of all the racist incidents that have happened after Brexit. A dig made about Saara in the knowledge that some in Britain have become more racist since Brexit happened. Saying this though, I'll be happy whoever wins.
I don't believe there has been more racism since Brexit at all and just ignorant remainers using this as an excuse because they didn't get what they wanted! The politics of Brexit should be left out when it comes to X factor and if this is what Nicole meant she should be ashamed of herself!

Well she has never had any big hits here, I can't say I'm a fan of hers, she's too full of herself! I like Matt but I don't like his mentor!

So murders and beatings of Polish people because they are Polish isn't racism... hmmm

I won't bring Godwin's Law into this but your comment makes it a relevant comparison...

couldn't have made a more obvious manipulation for Matt to win if they tried it

I think people should be more worried about Nicole's lack of general knowledge of geography and history - the girl clearly identifies UK with England
