The newspaper Göteborg Posten published on Sunday an article from a series of commentators with background in gender studies and social work. Even a person who is a lecturer in theater studies and a researcher in the English have signed article criticizing a new national knowledge and resource against racism to be established at the University of Gothenburg.

Criticism: “White project”

The main criticism that the debaters mainly based on “those who will develop a new national knowledge and resource center against racism can all be defined as white.” This means it is an issue and debate the article is illustrated with a drawing where a colored person standing outside the white community.

“Nationally, knowledge and resource racism appears as a white projects in the underlying power structures do not problematize and challenged “continues debaters.

Meets criticism for her article

The arguments in the debate article meets both praise and criticism on social media. One critic “find it strange to criticize the skin color of the people who work at the center against racism”. Even political scientist Andreas Johasson Heinö is critical on Twitter. He believes that it put forward by the debaters is “sheer idiocy”.

But all does not appear to be critical of the reasoning of skin color in the debate article. The anti-racist researcher and activist Tobias Hübinette seems in any case not be critical spirit.
