Microaggressions: All Racism, All the Time
 "What
 doesn't seem like racism, is racism. Our problem is that we don't know 
the truth about racism. Well-paid academics, however, do. They pierce 
through the veil of perception to find the truth (e.g., “racism is 
systemic and everywhere”) behind it. 
Thus
 the whole anti-racist thing has taken on new Orwellian forms. Those who
 don't see themselves as racist are suffering from what the economist 
Mary Rowe called “innocent ignorance”, which is itself a result of 
“unconscious bias”. In other words, not seeing oneself as a racist 
doesn't mean that you aren't racist. Instead, let some Ivy League 
academic clarify your position for you. You may not like what he/she 
says."
