BBC Asian Network's Big Debate: Subtle racism

Subtle racism

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Subtle racism

Would you call out subtle racism? Qasa is asking this because the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, is expected to stress the importance of public figures using language more carefully in order to tackle racism and extremism. After that we’ll hear from Yasmin Rahman to talk about her new book “All The Things We Never Said”. Then Quamer Khaliq, a wheelchair user, talks to us about his ordeal after he was left stranded on a plane for two hours because the special assistance that he’d booked never arrived. He thinks more needs to be done to help disabled passengers when travelling. Plus, Qasa wants to know, are Instagram right to hide the number of ‘likes’ on posts? The social media giant has announced they'll be hiding the number of likes on posts in some countries to "remove pressure" on users. This episode contains some strong language.
