      Yes. This is the argument. We are unconsciously racist because of assumptions we have but don't really think about. And yet, our societies have become less & less racist due to the dominant narrative increasingly being that judging people by their race is morally wrong.https://twitter.com/KantBreal/status/1001809217706176513 …

      Isn't part of the concept of implicit bias is that is a trait that is passed and not learned? Part of pack survival to protect what is you & yours.

      This attempt to 'dig up' further racism and in the absence of finding it, claim that people are racist on the grounds of their race threatens to replace the dominant moral assumption of evaluating people as individuals with evaluating them by race again.

          Barbara Applebaum particularly focuses on the need of white people to feel that they are good because they are non-racist as a problem for overcoming racism. I think making it impossible for white people to be good no matter how anti-racist they are would be more of a problem.

          Replying to @HPluckrose

          This is one of the most succinct descriptions of why identity politics is causing the left to fail. It’s a direct contradiction to their own values. If we aren’t able to demarcate ourselves from this strategy we will be thrown in the ash-heap of history and that’s scary.

          do you think colorblindness can be saved or that it will be lost for a generation? i don't see any solution to racism in the new narratives...

          Seems like it would make more sense to focus on the Dunbar number, where tribes are more important than race. Focus on learning to accept new people as equals generally.
