There’s been a mixed reaction to the launch of the anti racism campaign for bus and Luas drivers who claim that they receive slurs on a daily basis because of the colour of their skin.
An anti-racism campaign has been launched in Dublin with posters, signs and billboards to discourage people from racism.
Luas driver Lanre Bode Olatunji spoke to Virgin Media about his experience of racism claiming that a number of young people wrapped on his window and called him a “black bast*rd”.
The campaign will see posters on the sides of Dublin Buses and Luas carriages with organisers hoping it will stop people from such slurs being made towards drivers and passengers in the future.
However some feel that the race card is being overplayed too many times building up an attitude that no one can debate or question anything for fears of being branded racist.
