       > A white man shares publicly that a group of Black Harvard

       have said the same of white people dressed similarly. A white

       was an honest mistake. A white woman asks to touch a Black

       So, are they correct? Of course not:
       --- Quote ---
       > We found direct support for what recipients of
       microaggressions have been saying all along: Students who are
       more likely to say they commit microaggressions are more likely
       to score higher on measures of racial bias. One’s likelihood of
       microaggressing also predicts how racist one is judged to be by
       lab observers, as they watch real interactions unfold.
       > ...
       > In our studies, other kinds of microaggressions, including
       those that explicitly deny racism, are strongly and explicitly
       related to white participants’ self-reported levels of racial
       bias. For instance, the more racial bias a participant says they
       have, the more likely they are to say, “All lives matter, not
       just Black lives.” These expressions are more than small doses
       of toxin. Still, even in these cases, racial bias does not
       explain all of it, leaving ample room for defensiveness and
       claims that the recipient is being too sensitive.
       >
       > In our research, participants who agreed with the statement “A
       lot of minorities are too sensitive these days” showed some of
       the highest levels of racial bias.

       If they had demanded a "black" theatre, that would have been
       racist. A "non-white" theatre is anti-racist.

       suffered by white folks. It’s a rhetorical trick the white right
       has used for years. Which is not to say it has lost its power to

       The term "good white person" is as big of an oxymoron as saying
       "good Jewish person". They are both the same exact thing!
