The Welsh government’s mad decolonization plans
A teenager in Wales might want to play video games, hang out with friends or even, dare I suggest it, read a book. The Welsh government, however, would prefer they put on a headset and confront their “unconscious bias.” It has created a £1.2 million metaverse, the “world’s first anti-racist virtual world,” to teach Welsh teens about their “white privilege.” But this is only one element of an official commitment to end racism by 2030. Not today, not yesterday, but a specific year in the future. The idea for an Anti-racist Wales Action Plan – ArWAP – was born following fervor around the Black Lives Matter movement, and an official plan followed in 2022.
