Do you think it's really possible for any of us to be entirely "not racist" though?

For me, like a lot of people I think, it's a constant process of education, learning to unlearn some deeply engrained attitudes acquired by a kind of osmosis throughout my childhood and adolescence from my father, who shared a lot of racist beliefs that were common post WWII and would now cause a sharp intake of breath at the very least. The kind of thing 'satirised' by 70s humour in the form of Till Death Do Us Part etc, which he thought hilarious and based in truth (but not in the way intended by the writers).

We've had a bit of Remembrace here, and it's time to have some more. Please, remember those brave men and women and show your respect, buy a poppy pizza, lest we forget.
