| Comment | As a non-scot living in Glasgow, I can heavily relate to this. Scotland feels very racist, and whereas I've not been subjected to racist abuse directly, I hear and see racism all the time.
There's the downright wrong racism. like my friend taking his daughter to school and another parent telling them to go back their own country, and me consoling my friends 7 year old daughter who didn't understand why someone would say that.
But there's lots more of what I would call casual racism. Referring to corner shops as the p*ki shop, going to a chinese restaurant and referring to it as a chinky, tarring all Muslims as terrorists... The list is endless and I'd say I hear this sort of thing almost daily and most people don't even realise its racism.
Sad but true, we have a long way to go |
