Not exactly. I think we should act to alleviate inequality but we don’t need to resort to racism to do it.
How about instead of race we use economic indicators to choose who to help? It’s a far more accurate indicator and easier to test for than holding up a color chart (family income, education, tax returns) and actually helps more people that need it than only helping (insert the race you want to preference here).
What exactly is racist about diversity, inclusion or equity?
This is the big issue: we as leftists complain that liberals don’t listen to us, but when they actually adopt our language, we just accuse them of being racists.
Many left wingers are on the left solely because they hate liberals, and once they age out of protesting, almost always move to the far right. Seeing that you consider equity to be racist, I would say it is highly likely you have already began the rightwing creep and just haven’t realized it yet.
Changing the colour of your clan robes from white to black doesn’t make you less of a racist.
You’re falling into the trap so many do where they think their racism is the only good one and is right and justified. Spoiler, every racist thinks the same. Just treat people the same mate.
Please, tell me more about “my racism.” I’m genuinely curious what somebody who likely does nothing for their or anybody else’s community has to say about “my racism.”
Here it is again. We agree on the problem but not the solution. We have the same end goal. Unfortunately, racism still persists. Many of our institutions were founded on it and it’s impossible, under current laws, practices, etc to start ignoring it without negatively impacting marginalized communities immediately. It’s a process and we have to address the the consequences of past injustices while simultaneously working towards actual equality.
I don’t think we are going to see eye to eye on this one but I hope you have a good day.

Racism = treating differently based on race.

Wow, this is some “it’s illegal for both the rich and poor to sleep under a bridge” sort of brainless equality.
