Description
The question of covert racism has been splashed across the headlines in recent times through incidents in football, with John Terry, Stan Collymore and Luis Suarez all involved; politics, with Dianne Abbott accused of racism; and the metropolitan police with two of Stephen Lawrence's killers put behind bars and allegations of `institutional racism' resurging. Covert Racism tackles our cultural norms and acceptances in a 'post-racial' society.
