When I was growing up ('90s, 00s), that was the "movement" and teaching that was going on. It's colloquially known as being "colorblind". It has radically shifted the opposite direction. It's the difference between equality and equity, equality of opportunity vs. equality of outcome.
I don't know what's right or wrong really but I can say that the rapidness of the shift was definitely shocking to me. There's a lot of disagreement between Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z on the topic because of it.

If the people who understand that racism is bad do nothing, and the racists are the only ones who act on stuff, what do you think happens? You can't counteract racism with silence.
