   @pvonhellermannn I wonder if there are two types: wilful and unconscious.

     Just a quick note on racism: most racism is not conscious. Hardly anyone is like: yes i am a racist but i don’t care - because i am a racist -hah!

     No. Most people think they are the good ones, that they are not racists. They don’t realise that many of the views and opinions they hold, the way they engage with media, are deeply racist. That is what racism is!

     You need to learn this and you need to keep, keep working on yourself, keep being willing to listen and learn.
