"Racially-tinged" has become widely mocked as a journalese circumlocution for simply "racist", so it's interesting that "race-conscious" still gets a pass.pic.twitter.com/DTA0j02Ico

The extremely fast-changing structure of taboos and correct lines of thinking around race has become its own highly effective form of elite gatekeeping. It takes years to master and part of the conceit is that all the complexity should be obvious to any right-thinking person
If you believe the one hypostasis of Christ is both divine and human then you are correct, but if you assert the monophysite homoousion of the Divine nature while denying its hypostasic consubstantiality, then you are evil. And asking questions about it is a sign of bad faith.
Personally I'd get a kick out of a Harvard that just admitted off of a very difficult entrance exam and had maybe three American-born students in every incoming class.
I don’t know if you need to explain systemic racism to a third grader. Do you think we do?
People targeted by systemic racism tend to explain it to their kids, probably much younger than third grade.
Yeah it turns out when you say "okay everyone we're going to be TOTALLY EQUAL now", that ends up unfairly benefiting the social majorities, which fact ends up getting quite heavily exploited. You see this in often in tech codes of conduct.
It can be slightly improved to be more accurate and still understandable by third graders: "White people shouldn't treat other people differently based on the color of their skin." It isn't perfect by it avoids the glaring "anti-White racism" pitfall of your teacher's.

The best succinct description I’ve ever heard is “racism = prejudice + power”
