Where exactly have I, as a white woman, set out what specific acts constitute racist behaviour? What I have said is it is not for a white man to make pronouncements as to what is racist or sexist, since it is highly unlikely that he, in any significant or material way, will have experienced either. In any event, as a wife of an Asian man and amother of mixed race children, who have experienced racial prejudice at first hand, I think I probably have as much right as Laurence Fox to express an opinion.
The comments that he and others have made about "real" racism I also question. Who decides what is "real" racism? Was it racist for Jewish men to be referred to as "Jew boys", as was a common expression in earlier times, or for them to be depicted in plays and films in a negative and stereotypical way? I feel sure most people now would regard it as unacceptable. Not because it necessarily materially affected a person but because it was demeaning and disrespectful, and intended to be so. I was suggesting that such language and attitudes, which some people in those days felt were of no particular importance, are now seen for what they were - often leading to discriminatory behaviour and aggression. If left unchecked it can be - and has been - the precursor to violent oppression and, at worst, mass murder.
