It's also what they seem to be teaching in college.

Which college, and which classes?

The idea stems from Critical Race Theory (CRT) as it attempts to understand and or explain societal power structures through racism.

CRT is taught in various college courses across many institutions in the United States. Here are some examples of colleges and universities that offer courses related to CRT:

  1. Harvard University:
    • "Critical Race Theory" (Law School)
    • "Race and Racism in America" (Sociology Department)
  2. University of California, Berkeley:
    • "Introduction to Critical Race Theory" (Ethnic Studies Department)
    • "Critical Race Theory and Education" (Graduate School of Education)
  3. New York University (NYU):
    • "Critical Race Theory" (Law School)
    • "Race and the Law" (Law School)
  4. University of Michigan:
    • "Critical Race Theory" (Law School)
    • "Introduction to Critical Race Theory" (Sociology Department)
  5. Stanford University:
    • "Critical Race Theory" (Law School)
    • "Race and Racism in America" (African and African American Studies Department)
  6. University of Texas at Austin:
    • "Introduction to Critical Race Theory" (Sociology Department)
    • "Critical Race Theory and Education" (College of Education)
  7. Yale University:
    • "Critical Race Theory" (Law School)
    • "Race and the Law" (Law School)
  8. University of Wisconsin-Madison:
    • "Introduction to Critical Race Theory" (Sociology Department)
    • "Critical Race Theory and Education" (School of Education)
  9. Columbia University:
    • "Critical Race Theory" (Law School)
    • "Race and Racism in America" (Sociology Department)
  10. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA):
    • "Introduction to Critical Race Theory" (Chicana and Chicano Studies Department)
    • "Critical Race Theory and Education" (Graduate School of Education)

While it may be true that CRT and or courses built around CRT may not teach this specific detail explicitly it's implicit and it's even acknowledged and discussed in Education, even as just a "common misconception". If you have a common misconception in education you have a failure to educate and people still walk out with the idea.

Is it implicit? Or are you just searching for your strawman?

Because I've taken a similar course to one you listed, and it was never implicit...

I've taken classes like these too back in the 00's, partner is younger with a masters, is a social worker who works for the government, and has been through more education than I have, and she has definitely been exposed to this idea in education. I just asked her and she confirmed she learned this in higher education. Who knows for sure without taking every class with every professor but I've provided material for you to read where people in academia admit that the idea is out there, in academic circles.

Some interpretations of CRT suggest that, within a white-dominated system, racism is primarily perpetrated by those with power and privilege, which are often associated with whiteness.

According to CRT, racism is not just about individual prejudices or biases but also about the systemic and institutionalized ways in which certain groups are marginalized and excluded. In this context, the theory suggests that people of color can also exhibit prejudiced attitudes or behaviors, but these actions do not have the same impact as those perpetrated by individuals with power and privilege.

See how simple it would be to conflate or for this fact to be implied, especially if not thuroughly dispelled?

Also, why are you so confrontational?

So, it's just feels, then, that makes you think the idea is implicit, while never having been explicit, and even when people tell you it's factually just not accurate?

The people who tend to feel this way, are also the ones who tend to blame climate change is caused by DEI...

I can see that you aren't having a conversation in good faith, you're not actually curious, you're prejudiced (evident in first reply), and you're bigotted, cannot even concider how another perspective may be valid.

So, Im going to stop replying.
