• USA: MASS DETENTION – THE LAST TIME AROUND
  2 July 2019, by siawi3

  It is worth remembering that America has a long history of mass detention camps. Among the most notorious were the internment camps for Japanese-Americans during the Second World War.

• Belonging—why South Africans refuse to let Africa in
  7 September 2019, by siawi3

  Most black and white South Africans have at least one thing in common: their hatred of other Africans coming from the rest of the continent.

• Maroc : une experte de l’ONU appelle à agir pour lutter contre la discrimination raciale
  28 juillet 2019, par siawi3

  « Contrairement aux recommandations formulées par diverses parties prenantes internationales et nationales, le Maroc ne dispose pas d’une législation complète contre la discrimination ou d’une loi spécifique interdisant la discrimination raciale ». « Les femmes Amazigh ont signalé qu’elles faisaient face à des formes multiples et intersectionnelles de discrimination en raison de leur genre et de leur identité Amazigh ». « Certains migrants et réfugiés, notamment ceux d’origine noire, sub-saharienne, ont rapporté des incidents de racisme et de stéréotypage xénophobe lors de l’accès aux soins, au logement, à l’éducation, à l’emploi et dans d’autres secteurs »

• Sri Lanka : Pâques sanglantes
  21 avril 2019, par siawi3

  Une série d’explosions dans plusieurs hôtels de luxe et des églises où était célébrée la messe de Pâques. Pas de revendication. Le pays compte environ 70% de bouddhistes, 12% d’hindouistes, 10% de musulmans et 7% de chrétiens.

• UK: Brexit and minorities
  6 April 2019, by siawi3

  The coverage simply doesn’t reflect the diversity of the Brexit vote. Not all Leave voters are white, left-behind people who live in de-industrialised ‘hollowed-out’ communities. Nor are they all dispossessed ‘nativists’ longing for a bygone era of British territorialism and imperial might. Data suggests that euroscepticism in Britain’s South Asian population – particularly the UK’s Indian ethnic group – is stronger than previously thought.

• UK: THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF RACE AND CLASS
  16 July 2019, by siawi3

  Officials eyeing you with contempt. Police treating you as scum. A sense of being constantly watched and judged by professionals. Living in fear of benefit sanctions. A lack of community facilities. Such is likely to be your experience if you are working class. Such is also likely to be your experience if you are of black or minority ethnic origin. But here’s the odd thing: people from the working class and minorities are rarely seen as facing the same kinds of issues. Instead, in political debates from Brexit to welfare benefits, minorities and the working class are seen as having conflicting interests and often set against each other.

• USA: Just Hours Before Trump Unleashed More Racist Attacks at Rally, 137 House Democrats Joined GOP to Kill Articles of Impeachment
  24 July 2019, by siawi3

  “House Democrats are working with Republicans to avoid launching an impeachment inquiry. Let that sink in. A. Day. After. They. Condemned. Trump. For. Being. A. Racist.” Democrats’ decision to kill the impeachment articles as Trump continued his racist rampage against members of Congress Wednesday night represented yet another failure by the House majority to listen to grassroots demands and take meaningful action against the president.

• Canada : Les problèmes de Bernier avec le multiculturalisme ne peuvent être écartés.
  29 juillet 2019, par siawi3

  La « politique ethnique » est devenue la norme parmi les partis politiques du Canada. « Ils ne parlent pas aux Canadiens. Ils s’adressent à des blocs électoraux ethniques : aux Canadiens d’origine ukrainienne, italienne, chinoise, musulmane et sikhe. » Une nation doit être fondée sur un sentiment d’appartenance, de participation à un projet national commun, de partage des mêmes valeurs.

• India: Indian government prepares all-out assault on tribal rights
  19 June 2019, by siawi3

  “Colonial
  conservation took three or four generations to steal the lands of about
  10-15 million indigenous people throughout the world. India is now looking
  to steal the lands and livelihoods of a further 8 million tribal and other
  forest dwellers in a few months, and to shoot them if they try and go
  back. The militarization of India’s forests is being done under the guise
  of a law, drafted with WWF, supposedly in aid of conservation. One of the
  most massive human rights violations in the world is being planned, with
  almost no voices outside India raised in opposition.”
