Don’t be a classist anti-racist!

2. Welcome to DU.

This graph from your article just nails a lot of the push back we see here o the term "white privilege".

"Take, for example, racial diversity policies in university admissions. To whatever degree they still explicitly exist, they understandably frustrate white people who also face barriers to advanced education. They intentionally, though not explicitly, pit people of color against low-advantaged white people to fight over the bare minimum of opportunity while leaving the exponential privilege of the white elite untouched."

If we can get people identifying with others of different ethnicities in the same economic class instead of being manipulated into vying against them by the one percent and those that work for them, we'd be well on our to empowerment.

Would you please talk more about the false construct of race. I've read something similar before that so called racial characteristics are nothing more than adaptations to climate. For example, melanin in darker-skinned people allows them to survive better in hot, tropical climates with much sun; northern indigenous people have shorter, squat bodies that help preserve body warmth in arctic weather, and so on.
