A few months ago, @knowledgeworks published some guidance on systems thinking & I tweeted some critique.

Katie King reached out & we recorded a great convo on color-evasiveness & tools for racial justice. Check it out below.

"Our diagram did not illustrate the racist policies and beliefs that led homes in predominately White neighborhoods to be valued more highly. It did not illustrate that White parents often draw conclusions about a school’s quality based on its demographics..."
"..., believing that a school that serves mostly White children is a better school than one that serves mostly Black children. It did not illustrate that many wealthier schools and districts, which already have access to more tax revenue, also receive private funds..."
"...from parents and community members, further concentrating resources."

Dear Asian-American fam, if the mechanisms of "equal opportunity" you seek & defend are objectively unequal for communities who are even more historically marginalized & underserved than your own, than your conception of "equal opportunity" is part of an larger oppressive force.
Confused w the term 'White Supremacy' & its use to summarize the historic/ongoing systems at play to justify a racial hierarchy w clear White-Black poles of power? Let's educate ourselves. Immigrant communities have a been used by those in power to divide forever. No mas.
What dose the term 'White Adjacent' even mean? Is it meant in a derogatory way against AAPI? As a White/ Asian person, I don't believe so at all. It underscores changing paradigms of policy/ privilege. Its possible to experience discrimination & also benefit from racist policies.
