Can white people be victims of racism?
The argument about prejudice, power, and the disputed idea of “reverse racism”.
A design guide from the Mayor of London’s office included a photo of a white family along with the caption “Doesn’t represent real Londoners”. A spokesman for Mayor Sadiq Khan said the text was “added by a staff member in error”, but some on social media said it showed City Hall was racist against white people. What was actually in the guide? Where does the concept of racism come from? And what does the law say about whether white people can be victims of racism?
Guests:
Rakib Ehsan, researcher, writer, and commentator specialising in immigration and integration
Jaya Gordon-Moore, teacher of A-level Criminology and rapper (JayaHadADream)
Mónica Moreno Figueroa, Professor of Sociology at the University of Cambridge
Mike Walters, Professor of Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of Sussex
