I think they might have a point.

An ethnic minority Tory is anathema to the intolerant left

Behind paywall, but here's a snapshot.

The Thunderer said:
Mr Sunak has his work cut out. Given where we are headed, the need for intensive media scrutiny is obvious enough but, as with other Tories of colour, there is a particularly crude mode of attack directed at Rishi Sunak.

When those on the left go after black, Asian and minority-ethnic Conservatives, race is often at the heart of their complaint. Such Tories are defined first and foremost by their skin colour and any deviation from the expected political worldview is framed as a betrayal of their heritage "Immigrants built Britain, now their Conservative children are disowning them" read one headline.
See it time and again.

Left or right some people are just dicks.

I've read things about Sunak and Patel that I'm sure wouldn't have been said if they were white and I've read things about Diane Abbott that I'm sure wouldn't have been said if she was white.

Just don't be a dick.
