Thoughts on racism...

I follow Pierre de Vos's blog (sporadically) and I thought what he said about whether we should criminalize racism in SA very though provoking. Check it out here http://constitutionallyspeaking.co.za/should-we-criminalise-racism-in-south-africa/ I particularly liked what he said at that end that in SA we are "trained" to not say offensive things and we think we aren't prejudiced... So true! I guess my question is "how do we get people to look at themselves and really examine themselves for prejudice?"
