i come from Europe too...from Italy, and the racism here is rife, institutional racism is legitimized, we even have a xenophobic party in government.
recently there have even been pogroms against members of an ethnic minority - the roma (gipsy) people- with the politicians blaming the victims....
i have two kids who are black. i hate having to send them to school where they are not represented in the books they use, or in the play material...
where they never see any black face in a position of authority....
i desperately tried to find multicultural children picture's book in Italian....and i was horrified, the only i could find with non-white children in it , still portray african kids naked living in huts!
In a book about "multiculture education" it actually states , i quote, that "In africa kids don't usually wear clothes and in the evening sit around the fire listening to stories"....
can you believe it?
Thank you.
