She is of Indian descent, and fled her native Uganda for the UK when Idi Amin expelled the Asian population there. She now has a regular column for The Independent, and the reason she has "Brown" in her surname is because her husband is English.

She looks highly atypical for a true North-Indid.

Iranid

He said it because of the panda eyes probably. Both Iranid and North-Indid often have those.

North-Indid with Iranid blend. Similar types are found in the Zoroastrian community of India.

She could be Parsi, but I suspect she's probably Punjabi or something... I don't know if any Parsi people shipped off to Africa, under the Raj.

From what I recall, she is of Gujarati descent in fact.

Ah, yeah, that was going to be my next guess.
