“The genius of the civil-rights movement was its advocacy for colorblind policies and a universal standard of conduct. By contrast, today’s diversity experts want all of us, white and nonwhite, to fixate on our ethnic identities, to obsess over accidents of race and gender and sexual orientation morning, noon and night. For them, human relations boil down to nothing more than group power structures—you are either an oppressor or a victim. They argue, as Ibram X. Kendi has, that the ‘only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination’ and the ‘only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.’ But if your main focus isn’t ending racial bias but merely changing the color of the person on the receiving end, you aren’t seeking justice. You’re seeking payback. You’re prolonging racial tensions.” – Jason L. Riley
