One of the problems, indeed dangers, with the anti-racism industry is that it is incapable of recognising any improvements in society. The latest, “shock horror” story of racism came last week, following a Scottish Liberal Democrat Freedom of Information request into racist instances in schools that found 2,200 cases in the last three years, something their education spokesperson described as a “stubborn stain” on Scottish schooling. In response Jatin Haria, executive director of Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights, noted that any increase in numbers could be due to the IT upgrade to recording system but quickly noted that, “we have reason to believe that these figures are only the tip of the iceberg”.
