> The fact that these issues have become less overt and hostile is part of the problem - we compare current racisms to the more "overt" ones and therefore conclude they have disappeared rather than change form The author does not deny that this is a challenge for 3rd-wave anti-racists - indeed, this is a major point of the article itself. However, it seems unhelpful to call it a "problem", with no further qualification, as if the 1st and 2nd "wave" were not contending with far worse problems on the racism front. To think otherwise begs the question of why anyone should even bother to address racism at all, when racism itself can never disappear but merely "change form" into something else, ready for the (n+1)-th wave to address in turn.
