WOW, this is factually incorrect but also morally indefensible! 'They assert, for example, that a slave was "cheap labor." Mistaken again. After all, slaves ate, and they didn't produce until they grew up.' How dangerous to have this perspective in a position of influence

Yes! The crux of the matter - White academics see other White academics doing this stuff but they don't 'notice' it as racism. Or if they do, they'll give them a pass ('they're a nice person!'). Not just racial sensitivity training needed here but critical race self-awareness
