Isn't this the exact sentiment that is causing the issues in the first place?



I would disagree. I think the "woke" stuff is a more active movement to solve all of the 1% of the issue, while ignoring the 99% that actually effects peoples' lives (how universities perpetuate classism, living wages for people doing 'un-skilled' work, revitalizing disadvantaged communities that perpetuate historical racial injustices, etc.).

Displays of misplaced white guilt like this - while bizarre psychologically - don't really harm or help anything.


Seriously. Compared to incarceration, poverty, and social mobility statistics, none of this matters very much.
