Can people of colour be racist? The uncomfortable answer is yes. We're joined with guests hosts Obsa, Iman and Karen as we look at how people can internalise racism in different ways- whether it be through an inferiority complex to whiteness, or through conflicts around the world that can be explained through 'lateral violence'. What is 'lateral violence'? We discuss this and how we, as people of colour, need to stop perpetuating this cycle of racism in our communities.
