A Japanese woman came running over, stopping me in the street on my way home to ask about the area. Is it safe? I said it as safe as anywhere in London. It looks worse than it is and you should walk only in the well-lit streets. She said she had just been attacked in Clapham with a bottle in a racist attack for being Japanese.

NBAll diary entries are based on my own perception of a situation or event. They are subjective reflections and often written well after the fact. Other people I mention will have their own version of the events I describe and might disagree with their portrayal. This project is not about libelling people or stigmatising them but about recording my own perceptions of racism as a person sensitized to racism, both as a victim of racism and as a racist.
