    In order to identify discrimination, it is necessary to ask: Which persons, groups of persons are included and which are not? 

    On the basis of what is this distinction made (gender, age, rank, economic position, etc.)? 

    Does the distinction respond to a necessary situation, is it reasonable, and does it serve a legitimate purpose? 

    In what contexts/activities are they included/excluded? 

    What capacities are they recognised as having?

    What are they associated with: problems, illnesses, advantages, contributions?

    What voice are they given to speak from their own visions?

    We have to be very careful not to conflate racism and classism, as this has historically been used to blame certain racist dynamics on classism to not deal with them from systemic racism. ]]>     2021-05-27 15:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/globalprogramsicsc/f5n00257iypd3zry/wish/1565441435     globalprogramsicsc https://padlet.com/globalprogramsicsc/f5n00257iypd3zry/wish/1565459013 Rosario: 
    Linked to this, it would be good to talk about the naturalisation of racism that leads us not to recognise our discriminatory actions and even worse not to recognise them when it comes to state policies....
