The whole of Norway is discussing tolls, while there is one topic we really should talk more about.
Every day, people experience that their name prevents them from getting a job they are qualified for. They do not enter nightclubs in Oslo. And they experience that they are more often stopped by the police - just based on their skin color. Everyday racism is the racism you encounter every day from ordinary people either online or in real life.
It is not long since the increased racism in society became relevant when a white boy from Bærum shot his sister and then went to a mosque with the goal of killing as many Muslims as possible.
With the shooting at the mosques, we have again seen how important it is to fight this racism. What can we as a society do? What should politicians do?
