Al's a middle-class hand-wringing liberal who sees racism wherever he goes.
I think that's why.

Partly like Monty says,
partly because if they have a thick east end accent it seems a bit silly to ask where they are from, even though what I'm really interested in is which country did their parents/grandparents come from, and in asking such a silly question the implication could be that even though they sound English I could be inferring that they couldn't possibly be english because of their skin colour.

She is considering having her teeth removed specially for it.
But needs to check with the IOC to see if this is permitted under their rules.
