I think the perspective that a role model has to be from your ethnicity or needs to look like you is not correct. Especially for young kids.
Not from the US but I believe the current disadvantages are still felt because the civil rights movement wasn't that long ago. Such inequality takes decades to vanish, IF policies actually do address inequality at all. Currently most countries face an increase in inequality.
You can fight fire with fire, but I don't think this applies to racism for numerous other reasons. Such policies even underline an alleged difference between black and white people.

- raxxorrax 5y agoIf I look up to someone because I like the music, art or their general achievements, I don't care much how they look like or more specifically that they are similar to me. On the contrary, it may be advantageous to see people your are on the line with that are completely different to you. Good lesson on how looks can be deceiving.
