The WTO protests were noticeably white, and many claimed that racism within the movement was partly to blame for that. To what extent have white activists sought to understand and address racism in the movement? In this installment of the WTO anniversary series, Jill Friedman speaks with Scott Winn, founder of the Coalition of Anti-Racist Whites, an organization that was formed after the WTO protests, in direct response to discussions about racism within the anti-globalization movement; and to Colin Rajah of the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and author of several articles and essays about the lack of people-of-color at the WTO protests.
