Senoufou BS: Britain shamed before world - Windrush (172* d) RE: BS: Britain shamed before world - Windrush 01 May 18

I'd vote for you Dave! :)

That's horrifying Jim. A quarter of us admit to being racist! It's so ignorant, and to assume someone who is of a different race is less intelligent or less able is appalling.

I'm not sure how one tackles racism. We're lucky as no-one over the years here in Norfolk has ever exhibited anything like that towards us. And we've noticed more and more mixed-race couples going round the supermarkets with their trolleys. Lovely to see.

I have a (perhaps misguided!) view that most people (of any race) are good-hearted, but that figure of 25% shows I'm wrong about that.
I've had "Toubab!" shouted at me in Senegal, but it only means, "Aha! A white lady!" and I didn't see it as any more than a sort of observation.
Sigh. What can be done to change people's unkind and hurtful attitudes?
