Unwitting racism – a photo gallery of everyday bigotry

by | 28th, June 2012

WAS that cartoon of Mario Balotelli racist? What about that New Yorker cover of Obama? The Vogue cover of LeBron James? Can you be unintentionally racist? As the Macpherson report into Stephen Lawrence’s murder told us, racism “can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethnic people”. You can be an unwitting racist. You can be racist without being a racist. Makes you think. Also: “…any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or by any other person.” You’re all racist:
