Tupoka Ogette is a bestselling author and one of the best-known advisors on racism criticism and anti-racism in the German-speaking world.
In her Straight-Outta-Happyland format, she posts anonymised, discriminatory statements every Thursday. In the comment column, there is a detailed discussion about which aspects are racist or discriminatory and how to react to them. The aim is to better recognise and name everyday racism.
The format encourages people to reflect on their behaviour and language and encourages them to counter racist comments with a quick wit or to discuss them. Reading the numerous anti-racist contributions from very different people under Tupoka’s posts gives hope to the current political situation.
