🔗 Exceptional racism at the dawn of scientific psychiatry in Brazil: the curious case of Juliano Moreira

-

Juliano Moreira may have been a case of ‘exceptional racism’, which is a disguised, perhaps refined form of structural racism. We propose to call ‘exceptional racism’ the strategy of socially and institutionally praising outstanding people (persons who are exceptions, extraordinary personalities) from oppressed groups as a way of denying or covering up racism on ideological and political grounds.

From reading Reinhold's blog about his tests with using salt as a fixer I mixed up 225g of iodized table salt into 750ml of distilled water (equivalent to 300g salt in 1L). It takes a lot of stirring to get that much salt dissolved, that's why I used distilled water, I figured that may help it dissolve.
