    They are being brainwashed into believing it.

      On the bright side, if everybody goes around calling themselves racist, we'll have diluted the word to meaninglessness.

      That happened a long time ago.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        You misspelled "threatened for fear of their jobs."

          Right but somehow getting everybody to say it about themselves feels like peak dilution. Imagine if it became for white folk what the N word became for black folk.

          Education is extremely important.

            Imagine if you were participating in that exercise and when it got to you you just said “My name’s Emily and I detest people of color. Just can’t stand them.”

            And then when all the horrified looks came your way say “What!?! Isn’t this what we’re supposed to do?”

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Why can't we just accept racists? They are as normal as anyone else.

              Racism isn't illegal, except for some employment and public accommodation purposes.

              Just because you hate white or red or yellow skin is no reason to be outcast.

                  What I find interesting, is that racists are in all races.

                  The current woke version, seems to think the only racists are white.

                          Is there a country, any country, less racist than the USA?

                          No, there isn't.

                            Ha! Or maybe, "My name is Emily and I think all black people need to change, whether they realize it or not." and when when people gasp, say "Oh, by black I meant white. What, now it's a fair statement?"

                                https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/09/academics-are-really-really-worried-about-their-freedom/615724/?scrolla=5eb6d68b7fedc32c19ef33b4

                                However, hard evidence points to a different reality. This year, the Heterodox Academy conducted an internal member survey of 445 academics. “Imagine expressing your views about a controversial issue while at work, at a time when faculty, staff, and/or other colleagues were present. To what extent would you worry about the following consequences?” To the hypothetical “My reputation would be tarnished,” 32.68 percent answered “very concerned” and 27.27 percent answered “extremely concerned.” To the hypothetical “My career would be hurt,” 24.75 percent answered “very concerned” and 28.68 percent answered “extremely concerned.” In other words, more than half the respondents consider expressing views beyond a certain consensus in an academic setting quite dangerous to their career trajectory.

                                So no one should feign surprise or disbelief that academics write to me with great frequency to share their anxieties. In a three-week period early this summer, I counted some 150 of these messages. And what they reveal is a very rational culture of fear among those who dissent, even slightly, with the tenets of the woke left.

                                The degree of sheer worry among the people writing to me is poignant, and not just among nontenured faculty. (They write to me privately, and for that reason I will not share names.) One professor notes, “Even with tenure and authority, I worry that students could file spurious Title IX complaints … or that students could boycott me or remove me as Chair.” I have no reason to suppose that he is being dramatic, because exactly this, he says, happened to his predecessor.

                                A statistics professor says: "I routinely discuss the fallacy of assuming that disparity implies discrimination, which is just a specific way of confusing correlation for causality. Frankly, I'm now somewhat afraid to broach these topics … since according to the new faith, disparity actually is conclusive evidence of discrimination."

                                "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                    Yeah, well we had to declare ourselves as racists in high school in the 70’s and then lots of awareness stuff and protests through college and then so much at work.

                                    The woke folk are mere plagiarists. They invented nothing.

                                      I'm no racist. I love black people!

                                      I think every white man ought to own one. 🙀

                                      (Note. The above is a joke. Tasteless? Of course, but this racist stuff is to the point of being laughed at.)😄
