The "new" anti-racists of the 1980s in contemporary Britain consider racism, particularly against blacks, as both a structural and a white problem. Anti-racist activists, whose attitude is a mirror-image of the political left's general concern about the media--where blacks are in the minority--regard the media, especially television, as replicatory and contributing to the racism of society at large. Intervention by anti-racists has become a factor in the politics of British television and may involve either the "political/amateur" or "practitioner" approach. In the former, pressure groups and organizations concerned with race and/or media organize individuals acting in a personal capacity to intervene in television through audience response. Their criticism may discourage television from excess racism and/or encourage professionals within the industry to respond to a public demand for alternatives. The "practitioner" approach often involves black people in the industry, who, by their mere presence, can have considerable impact on the politics of the workplace. Also, black political culture in general can exert influence on television programs as a popular constituency. Despite opposition to organized anti-racist pressure, it is expected to continue. (CGD)
