Jim is right there is racism everywhere. Which bring me to a story I heard last week. One of my friends has a daughter on university exchange in Boston. That is Boston in the States of course not Lincolnshire. Anyway she's tried to get involved in lots of things and went along to an anti-racism group meeting with one of her new American friends. It turns out that she was the only white person at the meeting and she said that she was basically shunned by the bulk of the group and a few of whom were openly hostile to her. She had never experienced anything like it before and was quite upset. Her friend explained that because some members didn't like speaking in front of members of the oppressive white majority they normally weren't invited to attend and the only reason they even let her in was because she was foreign. No amount of talking could convince her friend the absurdity of the idea that people should be excluded from an anti-racism meeting because of their race!
