Neutrality is not the principle of antiracism. I cannot assume positive intent, because anti racism explicitly excludes merely ensuring post-hoc that discrimination did not occur.
Anti-racist policies, are by definition (per Ibram X Kendi), not neutral. A neutral policy that does not intentionally benefit minority racial groups, is classified as racist under Kendi.
Edit: Further more, per DiAngelo, investigations should not see IF racism took place, but HOW. Neutrality is not an option. And per Kendi again:
> The only remedy to racist discrimination, is antiracist discrimination.
> The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.
> The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.
How ANYONE ever took these principles seriously is beyond me.
