I'm a Taiwanese student studying in the UK for my masters.
Police officer delivered a letter to my halls of residence today. I have been asked to atend a voluntary interview at a the police station. The officer explained the nature of the offense was a t-shirt that had been reporting to them.
The t-shirt was worn by me and posted on my Facebook in some photos when I was with friends.
It is a black top with sparkly studs in it that says "ORIENTAL B*TCH" written in the sparkling studs.
The t-shirt was worn by me when I was 19 at a concert in Taiwan. I did not even bring it with me to the UK. The photo is of me in Taiwan with my friends.
I think someone reported it because some girl on my course angry reacted photos of me wearing it and wrote "nasty horrible vile" and unfriended me.
Police wont tell me if she reported it or not. Just that they are acting on a report.
The letter says my interview is voluntary? Does that mean I can ignore this? I have job offers lined up in London, San Francisco, Ireland and Taiwan, so instead of taking the job in London and having a police investigation can I just leave without consequence and work somewhere else?
