American racism, in housing for example, didn't creep in. It came in a bang with slavery and has been going away, in fits and starts ever since. How do you get from there to: > racism creeps into all of our institutions. Instead of thinking of racism as a yes/no binary with intention, I think it's more useful to think of it as something like "fairness." All? I think you should consider "I'm not racist, there are much better reasons to hate people." Even if you find unfairness somewhere, and even if it's intentional, how do you know a priori that it's because of skin color? > It's like starting the game of Monopoly when a bunch of the players have had dozens of turns of head start. Right. American Descendants of Slavery (ADoS) really have a shitty position. Worse off from the start and sometimes still facing the racism. > So this can't all fall on tech companies, of course, but as major pillars of modern society, they bear some responsibility of fixing the problems that persist. If it's our society's responsibility to fight slavery, have you hunted a pimp? Or do you expect your tax dollars to fund the police who do such things? I expect Google to not try to make things worse, but I'm fine if all the good they do comes from taxes.
