I find it very uncomfortable to admit what I am about to; I could be defined as a racist. Not in terms of active racism, as I feel I never commit acts of racial bigotry or discrimination, nor do I permit myself to think in such a terrible way. No, I’m talking in terms of passive racism, which the Tatum chapter (Connie and Tanya’s presentation) defines as a more subtle form of racism, and includes laughing at race related jokes, being accepting of the omission of people of colour from curricula, and avoiding race related issues. At times in the past,I am guilty of these things.
