Over the line

“I love Risk. I’ve laughed a lot and learnt a lot. But a recent episode, Over the Line, crossed a line. The first story teller, TaTa Sherise, a woman of colour who was car jacked by two men of colour, implied that it would have been preferable for her attackers to rob a nearby couple because they were white. Hopefully this was a joke, but if a white person had made that comment about a person of colour, no one would have accepted it as a joke. Even though the thieves were not white, and the man who returned her phone wasn’t white, her conclusions about humanity centred around racist comments towards white people, who she speaks of as one collective group. I hope she lives by her own conclusion to not ‘judge a book by its cover’ and to ‘treat people as individuals and not as a whole for one person’s mistake.’ The second story teller, Justine Ang Fonte, told two separate stories of being groomed by two white male tennis coaches. This was extremely unacceptable behaviour by the coaches, but Justine implying that this is a ‘white supremacy’ problem was not okay. The majority of white men are not predators and speaking about white people in this way exacerbates racial division. It is difficult for young men growing up in today’s world, constantly being blamed for their predecessors’ mistakes when they themselves have done nothing wrong. Both of the Risk stories demonstrate, if we want a better world, we need to do more to help boys grow into good men, regardless of race.”
