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."
