Part of the problem is that traditional racism is so much more comfortable to the elite then any talk of class structures and inherited wealth/status so the system will try to re-frame any systematic/structural inequality issues to racism as a way to divert attention away from the actual socioeconomic mechanisms at play.

Economic Inequality: material, quantifiable, & immediately actionable -- for any person, regardless of social standing, background, or experience. ::thinking::
- JarlUlvi 5y agoI must say, you make an excellent point. Normally when I hear Critical Race Theory in the workplace, I hear Privilege Theory too, but really White Privilege Theory. Do you think that the elites will push back more at any serious attempts to analyze the status quo, given the economics dominate far more than do mere exteriors?
