It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in'

REAL LIFES

"I got called paki at school which really hurt. It also really annoyed me - I'm not from Pakistan. I'm not even Asian - Dad was born in Nigeria and mum is white!" (Emekah, 17)

"My friend said the fact we were both women was more important than us being different colours."

'When you look in the mirror what do you see?', I asked.
'A woman'.
"When I look in the mirror I see a black woman. My race is always visible because it's how I'm not privileged in this culture. For you, race is invisible, it is not an issue." (Cynthia, 33)
