Martin Luther King is in our thoughts at this time of year. I've never been able to hack racism, yet feel there is little honest discussion of the matter. It is still in place all over the world, though in the UK it is not as obvious as in my youth and there have been improvements. I have two problems in mind:
1. The situation is rarely viewed from the perspective of poor indigenous people suffering housing problems, work and wage pressures - now including many ethnic minorities 2. The meritocracy system we have is based on a flawed concept and is easily cheated by educational advantages, inheritance and class-based networking. Few here are now openly race prejudiced, yet it remains easy to see many problems remain. I won't be watching either of the next two soccer world cups because they are in profoundly racist countries, but most don't care enough to boycott such. Any views out there? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
