Peter Andre horrified after he’s branded ‘a terrorist’ while waiting for a taxi
PETER Andre has revealed he was once branded a terrorist while trying to get a taxi.
The dad-of-four, who is of Greek Cypriot descent, admitted he was really ‘offended’ by the comment as he shared his shocking experience.
Writing in his Magazine column, Pete, who grew up in Australia, explained: “There was one time I came out of a train station in London with a backpack on and my hood up and no taxis would stop for me.
“Eventually one guy stopped and said to me, ‘Just a word of advice, don’t have your hood up and a backpack on, you look like a terrorist’.
“He actually said those words – I couldn’t believe it and I felt really offended. Maybe it didn’t happen because of my race, but it was because of my appearance.”
He added: “You can’t judge a book by its cover and assume someone is doing something wrong because of how they look.”
