Eracism Camp Vancouver (Erase Racism)
What and Why
The idea of race slows down progress and innovation. In Shakespeare's time this concept did not exist. Purity is a myth. Let's talk about how these issues affect our daily lives, is permeated in education, the media, and other sectors.
"The Imaginary Others" is a dangerous concept that focuses peoples away from the everyday local events, which we have the power to change on to faraway events which we can easily point fingers, but have little understanding of the context.
