Thanks for saying what you said here. For me, anti-racism is not a black-white issue but a universal human issue, and my preferred approach to it is outlined here. Broadly speaking, I think we need to start moving away from a society where categorizing people by race is even okay. It is scientifically unsupported, and, as a sociological category, it’s a pernicious instrument of oppression. To me, the belief that the solution to racism is racism going in the opposite direction is sort of like saying that the solution to terrorism is terrorism going in the opposite direction. These kinds of approaches beget destructive cycles and just end up causing a net increase in the amount of racism and terrorism in the world.
