Why we should give up on race |
Why we should give up on race

As geneticists and biologists know, the term no longer has meaning

Identity is fluid. One of us used to describe herself as "English"
(erasing her Gypsy grandparent), the other as "British Jew" (or did he
say Jewish?), but our shared whiteness was then always unspoken.
Today complex identifiers such as "black English" or "Brummie Punjabi
British" or "British Sikh" speak both of a new ease and pleasure in
difference, and of a political demand that racism become history. The
confidence of the voices claiming these new multiple identities tells
us change - not without fierce opposition - is happening.

The pendulum of racism has been given a new push, by people identifying
themselves by their colours.
