Some people instinctively oppose calling out racism because they see being against racism as being woke, and they've decided anything woke is bad.
It's a weird kind of ideological partisanship where people will turn off their critical thinking rather than be seen as endorsing any kind of "wokeness".
A plea to the so-called anti-woke is not to paint yourself into such a corner that your "tribe" is racism, if only the subtle kind.
If you agree with the goal, then use your voice to call out racism.

Don't play this game where simply start labeling stuff "neoracism" or "woke racism" and think anyone really believes that you're now actually against racism.
Sometimes this stuff is real too, at least for some of us.

When you find yourself defending eugenicists and white nationalists, and refusing to acknowledge evidence showing you're wrong, stop and consider what you're doing.
Don't let it be always about "giving in to the woke". It's okay to simply agree sometimes.

I once again thank the American Psychological Association for the statement they released apologizing for their role in advancing racism.
They made a lot of people reveal blindspots that I hope they reflect on. In the meantime, their reactions revealed a lot to the rest of us.
