MY dear late friend, Dr. Desrey Fox, used to say all the time that despite returning to Guyana with Master’s and PhD degrees and rising to the office of junior minister within the Ministry of Education, that she still felt there was still some level of prejudice against Amerindians in Guyana.
In the past month, I have heard several officials with utterances that are not only offensive to the ears, but also can be termed as ‘discriminatory’. I am appealing to our public officials to pay closer attention to the words that leave their mouths as the message some are sending to us, the citizens of Guyana, is that they do not ‘think’ before they speak.
Public officials must be careful about their utterances
