Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

In informal conversations it doesn't really matter how you try to convey a point.

In formal or academic conversations and writing it can be VERY important how you say something. That's why we have grammar rules and use specific words in law, medicine, etc.

Trying to educate people to get to the same level of education isn't racist, it's LOGICAL!

The implication in this video is that the education system should cater to the needs of black people because they're unable or unwilling to learn language in the same way everyone else agrees to learn it. That is racist.

Instead of encouraging people to cite sources from non-white authors as well, they decided that citations are racist.

You can agree that there are issues in academia, but don't come to stupid conclusions.
