Neutrality is not the principle of antiracism. I cannot assume positive intent, because anti racism explicitly excludes merely ensuring post-hoc that discrimination did not occur.

Anti-racist policies, are by definition (per Ibram X Kendi), not neutral. A neutral policy that does not intentionally benefit minority racial groups, is classified as racist under Kendi.

Edit: Further more, per DiAngelo, investigations should not see IF racism took place, but HOW. Neutrality is not an option. And per Kendi again:

> The only remedy to racist discrimination, is antiracist discrimination.

> The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.

> The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

How ANYONE ever took these principles seriously is beyond me.

Dr Kendi has spoken at Twilio and their policies have been shaped based on his thinking, as per: https://www.twilio.com/blog/commemorating-celebrating-junete...
