there can be little pockets in US higher ed locations. This is not the case in the UK. But, like what happened in Yale, it is still all sorts of BS what the institutions will do.

Yup. But at least there are BIPOC at N. American universities. It's impossible to even survive in little pockets if it's basically the the white wall.

I think if things are a modicum more livable at US institutions it is because of consistent and ongoing activism from BIPOC in which sit-ins, protest, etc. have forced places to create ethnic studies units. It is then like the Yale example. No change w/out organized activism.

Yup. Location is often really important. But I think maybe it’s the difference from an ongoing white innocence routine from Europe vs. knowing what race and racism is but fully saying we are racists. I think I prefer overtly knowing the enemies.

I wonder if it’s a Northeastern thing. Ppl have written about the difference b/t the Southeast and Northeast as at least in the South you know the racists clearly. The North thinks they are liberal but refuse to believe their racism.
