The argument about prejudice, power, and the disputed idea of βreverse racismβ.
A design guide from the Mayor of Londonβs office included a photo of a white family along with the caption βDoesnβt represent real Londonersβ. A spokesman for Mayor Sadiq Khan said the text was βadded by a staff member in errorβ, but some on social media said it showed City Hall was racist against white people. What was actually in the guide? Where does the concept of racism come from? And what does the law say about whether white people can be victims of racism?
