While the article makes some good points, I find the quoting in the article highly problematic and I expect much better from an academic. There are multiple examples were the sources actually do not say what they are being quoted for, for example the citations about the harmfulness of the perception of race, or the argument on the non exist ant connection between implicit and actual racism (the cited sources say that the test hasn't lived up to scientific standards, which does not necessarily mean that implicit racism doesn't exist). They also compare numbers in different studies to each other which really doesn't work. I do agree that we need to have a discussion about how we deal with racism and be careful to ever expand its definition, but we should be have this discussion evidence based and not try to resort to strategies of selective quoting.
