You may have been wondering what to make to #DianeAbbot's letter in last week's Observer & the whirlwind of commentary around its particular view of #racism... after a week, helpfully (and concisely) Kenan Malik offers an overview of how the debate over race has got to this point.

Before any #tories decide to get on a high horse about #dianeabbot racism, they should remember they have #suellabraverman and other racists in their party and do nothing about them.

@sabret00the

This discussion arises from #dianeAbbot claiming a hierarchy of injustice where white people of any type suffer less from racism

I don't claim disadvantage personally - I'm not a member of any minority that suffers racist prejudice. But in the context of her idiotic remarks to state "White people can experience..negatives..but the system overall is designed in their favour more than anyone else" without excepting the #Holocaust is remiss

@serge

Apparently, Jews, Travellers and Irish people don't count when it comes to #rascism
