> Proportional enrollment based on race? Yes. “Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”; it’s a Marxist ideology focusing on racial identities and purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes. It’s extremely racist. Anti-Asian racism will become normalized as long as “antiracism” is part of the Democratic agenda. They’re literally fighting to overturn civil rights laws in CA and WA so the government can discriminate based on race again.

> “Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”; it’s a Marxist ideology focusing on racial identities and purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes. Why do you say this is "Marxist ideology"? What makes it Marxist, precisely?

  “Antiracism” is another name for “critical race theory” which inherits from the general Marxist body of philosophy, of which “critical blah theory” tends to be a common name. Like “people’s republic” — it’s a fashion thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Marxism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Marxism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory

    But what is Marxist about its philosophy? What particular beliefs make it Marxist?

      In sociology and political philosophy, "Critical Theory" means the Western-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, developed in Germany in the 1930s and drawing on the ideas of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. Though a "critical theory" or a "critical social theory" may have similar elements of thought, capitalizing Critical Theory as if it were a proper noun stresses the intellectual lineage specific to the Frankfurt School.

> “Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”; This is true, antiracism is active in the presence of racism, “not racist” may or may not be. > it’s a Marxist ideology No, it's not. I suppose if you met “Marxist” metaphorically in that, like Marxism, it posits the existence of a status quo struggle, and calls for consciousness of that struggle and activity within it rather than indifference to it or denial of it, it would be accurate, but that's kind of a weak basis for such an emotionally-loaded metaphor. > purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes. Antiracism does not call for “purposeful systemic racism” for any purpose.
