In this episode, Nasar Meer, author of 'The Cruel Optimism of Racial Justice', part of our British Sociological Association 21st Century Standpoints Series, speaks with Rebecca Megson-Smith about his new book. They discuss issues around race and racial justice, and why we continue to see systemic injustice. Meer spotlights that many, every day, ‘unwitting' acts of racism continue to occur despite enquiries, investigations, findings and recommendations for change. He shows how it is possible for systemic racist behaviour to remain unchallenged, normalised and unseen, through a complex cocktail of silence about the past, as well as a lack of understanding that ‘equal treatment' is not the same as ‘treatment as an equal'.

The ladies discuss whether there is a disconnect between the perception and reality of being a creative and how creatives can sustain themselves until they “make it big”, if you should tip your takeaway delivery driver or service provider and whether tips should be optional, expected or collected through a service charge, the damning “Black people, racism and human rights” Report recently published by the UK Parliament Human Rights Committee and why key racial issues are not being tackled in the UK, and whether it's an act of betrayal to stay friends with a family member's ex partner.
