The department alleges these schools are violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act because the Ph.D. Project limits eligibility based on race, and therefore engages in “race-exclusionary practices.”
Race is a pseudo-scientific concoction. So any attempt to codify race into law is inherently racist. The state will never defeat racism with racism. That’s why we’re seeing this bullshit about the “white race” being persecuted.
The only way to defeat racism is to acknowledge what it is - a violent and pseudo-scientific system of privilege based on skin tone - and to actively dismantle it.
The state is doing the complete opposite. That’s what it was designed to do. It was literally invented by slave masters using “race science” from the 1700s. Racism will never be abolished without abolishing the privilege on whiteness. It’s the same thing.
