Today is the final episode of Borborygmi for this season and we’re ending with a conversation on diversity and  racism in the veterinary profession. This may be uncomfortable listening for some of you. You may roll your eyes and say ‘This is pointless. I’m not a racist. I’m tired of hearing about Black Lives Matter. It isn’t relevant to me”. Imagine how tired people of colour are at this point in time, having to constantly justify themselves and their place in Great Britain. To deny the existence of racism  in the veterinary world is to deny the lived experience of the all-too-few people of colour that work alongside us. My guests today discussing this are  Navaratnam Partheeban and Libby Kemkaren-Thompson and I want to thank them both sincerely for their patience in this chat. This is a challenging issue, but those of us who have the privilege of being white must challenge ourselves, educate ourselves, and work alongside people of colour to create real and meaningful change.  Useful links: BVEDS Website: https://bveds.com  BVEDS Twitter: https://twitter.com/bveds2016  BVEDS Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BritishVEDS/  Books and podcasts:  https://dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/why-im-no-longer-talking-to-white-people-about-race/  https://dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/the-good-immigrant/  https://dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/small-island/   https://dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/natives-race-and-class-in-the-ruins-of-empire/  https://www.aboutracepodcast.com
