The messaging on important racial issues is drowned out by borderline shaming jargon like “be less white” or “mitigating the projected whiteness”. The republicans are great and messaging and picking this stuff up, broadcasting it via Fox and boom now the Dems are out of power.

The same with this school reorganization business. Stop using divide jargon. You’re turning people off from an important message. Also, before just enacting knee-jerk policy try and base it on projected outcomes and not on a reaction to racial soundbites from social justice warriors.[/quote]

That's fine, but you could also help by just choosing not to be offended by the form the important message is taking and focusing instead on the message.[/quote]

That’s not how people work. You can’t expect to have a culture where any perceived wrong speech can get you cancelled, and they expect people to ignore phrases like “mitigate whitening.” Nobody likes to be judged by their immutable charactetistics like race or gender. [/quote]

I am a white person who's just fine with ignoring the phrase "mitigate whitening," though obviously I can recognize that it's caused some foreseeable side problems that will wind up getting in the way of the equity goals behind the idea and behind the specific proposals. Are you really so easily offended that you can't handle one phrase in one DCPS working group document that strikes you as possibly insensitive toward white people? Just move on.[/quote]
