⚡ Get your team talking about the pros and cons of using casteism as a parallel to racism
⚡ Offer an alternative way of thinking about racism - through the lens of casteism - and maybe give you new language that resonates with you ⚡ Ask you to think about the racism that’s built into America’s foundations - and what might be needed to overcome it Resources: Key resource, discussion questions, anything you usually need for any remote joiners Time: 1 hour (plus an additional 45 mins – 1 hour to read the resource) It is the worn grooves of comforting routines and unthinking expectations, patterns of a social order that have been in place for so long that it looks like the natural order of things. In a long-form article for The New York Times Magazine, Pulitzer prize-winning writer Isabel Wilkerson suggests that modern America’s systemic racism might not be so different from the casteism commonly associated with India.Ĭaste is insidious and therefore powerful because it is not hatred it is not necessarily personal. The Black Lives Matter movement and growing scrutiny of the police are waking more people up to systemic racism - the racism that is embedded into and influences the outcomes of our societies. We’ve published this guide so you can use it to have honest, uncomfortable and entirely necessary conversations about racism with your team, too. This guide forms part of a six-week Black Lives Matter Discussion Group series that we had internally at Hive Learning. This discussion guide is designed to get you and your colleagues learning and talking about racism.
