Tim Minchin - Prejudice

Posted on 07:29 by Unknown
You may think we live in an enlightened society, that we've left ignorant racial prejudice and bigotry somewhere in the dust of the distant, barbaric past...

But as Tim Minchin shows in the following absolutely hilarious and brilliant song, prejudice is still all around us. There are words that we use to hurt and demean others, particularly a word that includes "a couple of G's, an R and an E, an I and an N," and maybe it's time we come to term with this word and the pain we inflict on such a minority :)


What, what were you thinking? :)
