Over the course of my travels and employment as a camp counselor I have had the pleasure to meet and befriend people from a wide range of nationalities, mostly from the ex-British Empire and current Commonwealth. I haven't as of yet had the opportunity to experience anything like the kind of enlightening conversation Mitchell had, and revisiting my experience in Brixton will only trod over ground well broken by Kelsey and make me yearn for Caribbean street food, so I plan on starting up a email correspondence/ interview of sorts with my international comrades on the subject of race relations. All of my friends are educated white men who come from various sectors British society, and most of them take a more conservative stance on the topic of immigration. As the weeks go on I will regularly try and post the results of these interviews (either verbatim transcripts or summaries) for the class to read over, maybe even inviting my friends to post on the comments section below each entry. I personally think it will be interesting to get the local's perspective and see the resulting dialogue.
Best wishes!
