Waking Up To Racism Pt1 - Expert Hangout Podcast

Four Responses to Racism, Strategic Conformists and Collectivists

Errol Lawson outlines four psychological responses to racism: strategic conformists (who ignore racism to reach the top, like Trevor McDonald), survivors (who are aware but stay quiet), outsiders (immigrants with no prior context for UK racism), and collectivists. He describes the current global movement as a "multigenerational collectivist response" where people are no longer willing to "play the clown" and demand respect for their full identity.
