What’s in a name?: Racism, racial prejudice, and the case of Other Dave

I was going to post about learning disabilities and diagnosis bias, focusing on gender and race bias…and then Tuesday happened. On Tuesday morning, my mother and I got into a discussion about race and racism, which happens from time to time, and to say it ended poorly is…something of an understatement. But it made me think about how racism is perceived by society at large, so I decided to examine the ideas of racism and racial prejudice, and look at an example of casual racism in popular media.
