Take flights? Should you be doing something to combat racism, sexism and xenophobia?

Torbj rn T nnsj carefully describes each theory, putting them into their historical contexts and applying them to contemporary debates. He offers arguments for and against, with a special focus on the counterarguments and the best attempts to meet them.
