Right. In my opinion, there is undeniably a hyperfocus on race in many of


The current anti-racism initiatives. No where more evident than in academia.

But, by the same token, there’s a whole cottage industry devoted to spinning everything available like this - anything with a racial aspect at all - to generate outrage, especially in old white dudes. But in reality, this isn’t all that unique. To a large extent, it’s just being highlighted in a way to make it seem uniquely objectionable (if they really threw white people out of a ticket line).

None of it lends itself to finding the right equilibrium with “content of character instead of color of skin”.
