I get what you're saying but how old was that copper. I'm about to sit down and watch it.
For me there's no excuse for anyone to be racist, especially the actual definition of racist. But there are generations still about who are brought up with it.
I'm proof that racism is lost within 3 generations from war time grandparents.
My grandad was a horrible racist, however, he was brought up in a time where racism was acceptable, like it or not it was. Through life experiences my parents have brought me to knowing the difference between a good person and a bad person regardless of colour so the cycle has been stopped.
Continuing to put a barrier up between different races regardless if the intention is for the good or well-being of an individual will not stop it. Whichever side is doing it needs to stop, then we might see some real changes |
I understand what you're saying and agree with most of what you say.
I just think that the risk is with BAME people, so if they feel that "the talk" minimises the risk to their kids then they should continue to do it. As you say generationally things should continue to improve and eventually, hopefully, there will be more and more BAME parents who will have received the talk but not feel it's necessary to do the same for their kids, as they themselves haven't experienced it. |  |
