Has racism increased during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Discussion moderated by Dr Giovanni Picker
----------------------------------
"Chinese virus" (Trump) is probably the most infamous COVID-related epiteth of the last months. It shows the extent to which racism is both embedded in Western societies as well as disposable and displayable as both everyday and institutional tool of power. And the Black Lives Matter's ongoing set of uprisings reminds everyone of racism's letal power and the importance to organize resistance. During this chat we will exchange views, analyses and experiences of these issues, discussing whether (and how) during the current pandemic racism is on the rise. And - of course - what to do against it.
