Racism is systematic inequity based on race, an imposed category. Being childfree is a choice & does not impact life chances since birth.

White people like to compare any form of disadvantage to racism in order to emphasise the "bad" impact. Whiteness emboldens them to do this

This is another facet racism: White people want to reclaim racism as their own, in this case even when they research racism. It's a tool.

Unsurprising but frustrating that White woman who researches racism would see no theoretical problem with comparing her experience to racism

In comparing personal experiences to racism, White people want to be excused from racism, whether or not they are conscious of their motives

This is one example of how White researchers contribute to racism in science & society: lack of critical awareness of Whiteness.

In the methodology, like many other studies, Whiteness is unperturbed: race is not explored as a factor (easier to say "students" than WP)

The research of #POC which focuses on POC in the sample are considered "ethnic/racial" studies. White people's studies are just "studies."

Researchers' racial biases, incl how they come to be interested in a particular topic in any field, are not critically examined.

Then media picks up a study & publish Whiteness as scientific fact, normalising racial bias of researchers Science is political.
