"The takeaway is that racism is not the daily fare of life in SA, and it does a grave disservice for us to act as though it is. Yes, it exists, but as one problem among many, and not the dominant one by any stretch of the imagination." - Terence Corrigan, IRR https://lnkd.in/dStaiHBW
