In this talk Sayem Ali Ahmed dives into systemic racism and its impacts. Today's discourse on racism tends to defer responsibility to "the institutions" or "systemic barriers" with limited evidence of how this is the case. For activists this is frustrating, for antiracist skeptics it's concerning, and for racists it's empowering. As a student, debater, and youth advocate, Sayem Ali Ahmed uses this example to explore some of the institutional pressures on how our discourse addresses issues of systemic inequality. Outside of school and work, Ali is fascinated by the far recesses of the universe as much as he is by the mechanics of our earthly microcosm, and has a keen interest in manifesting this curiousity through words and film. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
