After the death of George Floyd, the racism debate in the US re-flared up. For weeks, thousands of people take to the streets to demonstrate against inequality in the society. However, the Protest has shifted from the road long ago in many other areas of life: Everywhere is now being discussed about structural racism, everywhere people, organizations and companies show their solidarity with the “Black Lives Matter”movement.
