CV and mad panic behaviour

[Gointocarlton]

Racism is a huge topic and I would safely assume that it is well outside the remit of a footy forum. Overcoming racism is something that is an individual project, and it is something we all need to work on every single day. It is a lifetime's project. The greatest evil exists within each of us, and self exaltation and the externalisation of evil are scourges on humanity.

Racism has no place on football forums, football fields, schools, workplaces etc etc etc. Perhaps the problem is we dont discuss it enough. I can only speak for myself but as the son of Italian immigrants, I grew up experiencing racism everyday of my childhood life. I am sure it was insignificant compared to what our nations First People experienced or the African Americans experience. Many people like me learnt (or taught ourselves) to tolerate it and laugh it off, even now. Perhaps that has in fact made the problem worse by not standing firmer against it, that is, calling it out and thus educating the perp.
