• Is stereotyping always a bad thing?

  I did complain on the blog several times that I hate when people stereotype me and when it’s the British who do that I consider it to be racism. I didn’t change my mind about it, as yet. I doubt I ever do. However, two days ago I started reading a book Qualitative Research by…

• I was a racist once

  I need to discuss this uncomfortable concept here. I was thinking that, although we all, in British society, try to raise the awareness of racism we rarely talk in details about what it actually is and what it isn’t. The British don’t want to touch this subject because they are worried they will be attacked…

• I can’t take a break (an opener to discussion about racism)

  My brain is really refusing. It feels to me like I’m mapping what I sense is happening with concepts that I already know. I did try not to discuss racism on my blog so far but you know what I think? That in our age racism (except in some really nasty people) doesn’t really exist…

• British supremacy

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-60708712 I read the above article today and was absolutely shocked! It’s about black chemistry professor who had his every single application for funding or research turned down! I could not believe that. I guess, because I’ve never seen British person being rude to someone who is black, I assumed racism doesn’t really exist. I…
