Speaking on her BBC radio show, Clara explained that the tragic incident reinforced the perception that "people want our culture, but they do not want us".

She said: "In other words, you want my talent, but you don\'t want me.

"There is a false idea that racism - and in this case anti-blackness - is just name-calling and physical violence, when it is so much more insidious than that.

"One of my favourite thinkers is a woman called Amanda Seales, and she says this and I feel it deeply when she says, \'You cannot enjoy the rhythm and ignore the blues\'. And I say that with my chest."

Later in the show, she added: "I want to say to our black listeners, I hope you feel seen and heard today.

"And to those of you that already let me know that you are doing the work, to be committed to doing better, I see you, so let\'s do this. Let\'s all be anti-racist."
