This so deeply insulting and indicative of how belittling the racial conversation in America is becoming. The National Museum of African American History & Culture (with an assist from Robin DiAngelo!) defines as "white culture"

-Work Ethic
-Intact family
-Rational thinking
1/

-Independence and autonomy
-Delayed gratification (!!!)
-Punctuality
-Politeness (!?)

This is really awful messaging to send to children. What are we doing? Why would other countries want to import our twisted racial thinking?

I can't get over this: they are saying "cause and effect relationships" are white. Children will see this.

The awful irony is that saying that black people somehow lack these qualities is the worst kind of racism a real white racist would spew. But this disrespect is recycled into "anti-racism" and sold to corporations and cultural institutions (and it's being put in schools, too)

As someone else pointed out, putting this in front of kids is something like child abuse.
