About 15 years ago I was at a civic "do" and talking to a businessman who had emigrated from Asia about employment in Croydon. I mentioned that although South London was becoming equal opportunity there were distinct problems that needed to be resolved if you went 20 miles south. Up to this point we had been talking as friends but the temperature suddenly cooled. I had cast him as "other". If you think that being anti-racist is not racist then think again. You can only escape racism by treating other people as individuals. Are those who pose as against racism by being anti-racist largely postmarxist drones trying to create division and tension?
