By Izeth Hussain
Suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, the term “racism” has come into vogue. I myself have been using it for years, in preference to the term “ethnic” in connection with our famous ethnic problem. But otherwise it has been normally used in Sri Lanka only to allege “Tamil racism”, the assumption behind which is that the Sinhalese of course have never been racist towards the Tamils, or towards anyone else for that matter. But now, in connection with the anti-Muslim hate campaign and the halal problem, – which involve Buddhist monks and a political party that is part of the Government – many including no less than the President have used the term “racism”. There is therefore recognition among the Sinhalese power elite that there could be racists within their own ranks. I see this as a step or even a great leap forward, the beginnings of a possible sea-change, holding out promise for the future.
