Anti-racism is racism. Systems to "mitigate systemic bias" are systemic bias, and explicitly so, which makes them far more evil.

It's not some passing fad. Companies and institutes have been very open and self-declaring about viewing "whiteness" as a bad thing and explicit about wanting to have fewer white people in desirable positions or depicted

Where is this “systemic bias” people keep crying about? I don’t see it in ads, in hiring policies, in college admission policies, etc.

In fact, I see the opposite: the group you mentioned is vilified and artificially held back across the board because it is fashionable. Fighting racism with a different kind of racism makes absolutely no sense.

The more we deviate from a meritocracy the more we all lose.
