Be mindful that even ordinary words can be racist and derogatory
12 July 2018
I’ve recently seen the media reports on the case where a co-worker’s reference to another worker as a “swart man”... was found to be racist and derogatory. On a daily basis I am aware of persons referring to others as white females or black persons for example, often in the context of work related matters. Surely this cannot all be seen as racist and derogatory?"
