But it is not limited to Covid — getting white people to think about the racial composition of welfare beneficiaries makes them less supportive. Telling white people about racial disparities in criminal justice makes them less supportive of reform. https://t.co/vrWvcVqFxW https://t.co/y7xrmE6CvJ — PolitiTweet.org

I expand this with the observation that “antiracist” hyper-attention to racial disparities appears in practice to often be directly counterproductive and makes people *not* want to address the issue. We see that with Covid. https://t.co/vrWvcVqFxW https://t.co/deied9Ih5l — PolitiTweet.org

Taking racism seriously as a problem should mean acknowledging that this is dangerous stuff and exercising some restraint about psychodrama and performance in favor of real thinking about the interests of vulnerable people and how to advance them. https://t.co/vrWvcVqFxW — PolitiTweet.org
