[quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] The point is that remembering that guy as the black guy is easy. Demonstrates to me that they weren't listened to the rest of the time but that is another issue. The major thing for me is that we were told on an almost weekly basis that race doesn't matter and we shouldn't do anything based on race, and everyone is equal, its all the same, but when it suited people, it was fine to use it. Its either fine or its not. I'm very happy to recall someone as the black guy if it makes recollection easier, but don't in parallel to that hush up every other application of the distinction. Guy I used to work with summed it up - if you need teaching about racism you're probably beyond hope. Most of the lessons are the skills required to act correctly so that you do the right thing. That isn't adjusting underlying attitudes, that's masking them so everyone looks happy. Conversely in the case of Hansen, doing the wrong thing of course isn't racism, it's just a lack of attention to the correct terminology at that time. Which I applaud the guy for, I think his time is far better spent elsewhere. [Edited on 22-12-2011 by Ian] [/quote]
