Satire or Racism?

Publisert

Henrik Lunde, Information Officer at Antirastistisk Senter, the Anti-racist Centre, plans to report the Law Facultys student newspaper Stud.jur. for racism. Stud.jur. has run a column on the fictitious sami Ronny Håtta, the only professor of law at the University of Tromsø¸, since 1996. Lunde says that the column is a mere regurgitation of anti-sami prejudice. ­ I very much doubt whether this column would have been allowed to exist for so many years if the protagonist had been a Muslim, argues Lunde.

Stud.jur.s editor Dag Vemund Haanå¦s does not believe that the column racist.
