I REALLY should be in the best of moods. I have two women, friends from way past, with shows on at the Fringe, both exploring and transposing their Asian heritage, two and three generations, bang up to date. But then, while abroad visiting family, I spied friend and colleague Aamer Anwar on TV. Definitely not what I was expecting, and so ended my feelgood factor.
What does it say about our society that it took a specially commissioned report into Scottish Cricket – Changing the Boundaries – for this specific case of institutionalised racism, experienced and witnessed, to be acknowledged and potentially acted on?
