The fact that she possibly killed herself over this would be diminished if she was from Poland or China?

Because there have been rumors that she was already suffering from workplace discrimination, like MANY people of Indian and Pakistani descent working in Britain do. There isn't major anti-polish sentiment in Britain, and not nearly as much anti-chinese sentiment as anti-Indian, either. It was the ridicule and racism connected to her screw-up on the phone that pushed her over the edge, supposedly.
