When the well-intentioned white person or faux “DEI expert” comes with the “we all have bias”, inform them:
Yes, we all have biases.
But, those biases are not equal.
Becos we don’t all have power.
The power to translate that bias into an outcome for those without power.

Whole communities drowned. Burned. Shot up. Set on fire. Sick. Deformed.
Destroyed.
