Racial bias and racism s till p lagu e ou r lives

Paul Farrell from Perth, Western Australia writes:

Perhaps it should come as no surprise to anyone that racial bias and racism – two faces of the same societal ill – continue to plague our lives.

Sometimes, one finds it too difficult to understand the reason for this when we were all created equal irrespective of colour However, somebody like me (and I am sure several other people) find it hard to believe that there could be a reason for this other than arrogance, and the belief that one race could be superior to the other

I want to believe that one day we could live as one, without any prejudice But then, by the looks of it, mine could just be a dream that is difficult to be fulfilled

I also read somewhere that outright discrimination that is still chalked up to “unconsciously racist” banter, will suffocate progress

Surprisingly, nowadays, even video games have become racist One fine example is the Fifa20 video game that reproduces the racial stereotypes embedded within football I found one good example of this, as Black footballers in the game are given lower scores for technical or cognitive ability than white players

When will it end, if ever?
