Min SvD-recension av Mira Nairs »Den ovillige fundamentalisten«.
Seriekopplad till min debattartikel i samma tidning, om rasism och debatten om rasism.
Hynek Pallas, texter och film
»Many studies show that there exist ethnic(Min kursivering)
discrimination in the labor market, but it is still unclear how
extensive it is and what kind of discrimination is most common.
However, the existing evidence suggests that both preferencebased and statistical discrimination occur. This explanation is
important for all immigrants, but especially for immigrants
from non-OECD countries.«
Trots - eller kanske just för att - jag tillbringat år m avhandling om vita mäns narrativ drar jag ner rullgardinen över txtrna om Hellström

@iamhmamh @johannisanden Personligen tycker jag Liljestrand verkar kränkt för att ingen vill representera medelklassmannen som tankar bilen

»Mansfield: Did anything strike you about the assault, about the witness statements from people who had been at the scene?
Davidson: In what way, sir?
Mansfield: No, no, no, this is my question: did anything strike you, stand out, when you read those statements?
Davidson: A boy was murdered, a young lad was murdered by four or five other young lads outside a bus stop. What would strike me about that, sir?
Mansfield: I just wondered if it occurred to you that it was a race attack?
Davidson: I do not think in my own mind this was a racist attack. I believe this was thugs attacking anyone, as they had done on previous occasions with other white lads.
Mansfield: I do not want to debate with you about the nature of racism, but do you recognise that thugs who may kill white people for a variety of reasons, but who kill blacks because they are blacks, are committing a racial crime?
Davidson: Yes, sir, I recognise that if they were killed because they were black, that is racist.
Mansfield: That is exactly what this case was about but you refused to recognise it, did you not?
Davidson: I still refuse to recognise it, sir. I am very surprised that anybody knows it is about that, because it has never been cleared up anyway, sir.«(citat ur Macpherson-rapporten)
»The day-to-day realities of racism in the lives of women do not usually receive much attention in politics, legal systems, or societal narratives. This is unfortunate, because everyday life and experiences are a rich ground for demonstrating how convergent dimensions and systems operate simultaneously. In everyday experiences distinctions between the institutional and the interactional, between ideology and discourse, and between private and public spheres merge and form a complex of social relations and situations. In order to qualify the implications of the centralizing of experience in theorizing about systemic oppression, in this case racism, I introduced the concept of everyday racism.«Men det var egentligen andra tongångar som gjorde att jag tappade kaffekoppen över Dagens Nyheter imorse, och det var hur mycket Kjöllers text påminde om tongångarna från de intervjuade poliserna (och deras ledning - en mycket viktig poäng i Tamas text om hur ansvaret går uppåt) i Macpherson-rapporten.
»Kamlish: You are aware of a recent Met report which shows that black people were four times more likely to be stopped and searched in a street as white people?
Johnston: If we look at the people who are likely to be out on the streets, youngsters who are truanting and excluded from schools, who are over-represented in the statistics, it is young black children. If you look at who else is out on the streets, it is the unemployed. If you look at the differential rates of unemployment, black people, for a range of reasons – some of which are understandable, some of which are abhorrent – are unemployed. If you look at police, where police do their stop and search, it is in high crime areas. High crime areas tend to be areas of social deprivation. Who lives in areas of social deprivation? For a range of reasons, coloured people.«
»Underlying the detail of what has and what has not been done by the police has been the insidious slipping off the agenda of any discussion about racism. In 2012, for our politicians, media and even the public, discussion of "inequalities" has been reduced to either the gap between women and men, or the gap between the poor and the very rich. Tell a black, Muslim, Asian (or other British citizen from a minority group) racism is so reduced that it no longer needs to be dealt with and most will react with outrage.
Enough of this anger-creating suppression of the hopes and opportunities of people from black backgrounds. My message to white (mainly) men (like me), who have the power to discriminate is this: just stop doing it.«
