What is race? Is it still relevant in Scotland?

In this episode, participants of colour at one of The Anti-Racist Educator's public engagement meetings attempt to tackle challenging questions about race and its relevance in Scotland. Apologies for the bad quality of the audio - we were not working with professional microphones but this is something that we will try to improve for our next episodes. The transcript linked below should make up for it.
