UK perspective
Prompted by this discussion of UK attitudes, I thought I'd post some links on race and racism in Great Britain.
First off, last months' Observer interview with Freema Agyeman, Martha Jones in Doctor Who (and, soon, Torchwood).
Still on Who: a discussion of The Shakespeare Code at Outpost Gallifrey gets into the history of Black people in Britain. (Scroll down to Lance Parkin's posting.)
It looks as though Life on Mars sequel Ashes to Ashes will confront British racism (SPOILER in the link!).
Thoughtful post from thetagenesis comparing the experience of racism in different countries.
Finally, an opinion piece in the Guardian discusses Christianity and racism.
