Anti-Racism When There Is Only One Human Race - With BSL

Explore the origins of race as a categorizing term and its connection to racism in this 16-minute TEDx talk by Jayanti Shah at TEDxSouthamptonUniversity. Discover how to adopt an anti-racist mindset and approach to daily life, with a focus on the importance of language in shaping our perceptions. Learn why asking someone where they belong rather than where they're from can make a significant difference. Gain insights from Shah's 50 years of experience promoting anti-racism in Southampton and Hampshire, for which he was awarded an MBE in 2020. Understand the perspective of a long-time Southampton resident who identifies as having brown skin and emphasizes being a neighbor rather than an expert on foreign cultures. The talk includes British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation by Bonnie Lawrence of Deaf Action, making it accessible to a wider audience.
