The policy allowed law enforcement to raid their homes and meetings in search of drugs.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Example #2: Ohio required newly registered voters in the 2004 federal election to submit their voter-registration forms on a particular kind of expensive paper, which made it harder to register. The policy appeared to target <em>all<\/em> newly registered voters, irrespective of race, but a large percentage of newly registered voters were Black, meaning the policy caused racial inequity. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An <\/strong><strong><em>antiracist policy<\/em><\/strong><strong> is any law, procedure, process, guideline, or rule, written or unwritten, that causes or maintains racial equity.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>(Shortform example: The 1965 Voting Rights Act made it illegal to prevent people from voting based on their race.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Racial discrimination<\/em><\/strong><strong> is treating a group of people in a particular way based on their race.<\/strong> Racial discrimination is only racist when it creates inequity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An example of racial discrimination is a policy that temporarily helps an underrepresented group. While related to race, this policy isn\u2019t racist because it aims to create equity between groups.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Racism<\/em><\/strong><strong> is a combination of racist policies and ideas that causes and maintains racial inequities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An example of racism is the combination of policies that resulted in Black and Latinx people making up 56% of the prison population in 2016 even though they represent only around 25% of the US population. White people make up 30% of the prison population and 60% of the US population.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Antiracism <\/em><\/strong><strong>is a collection of antiracist policies and ideas that cause racial equality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An example of antiracism is the combination of the Immigration and Nationality Act (1965), the Refugee Act (1980), and the Immigration Act (1900) that encouraged immigration to the US from non-European countries.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Race Neutral<\/strong>: A Missing Definition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice there are no definitions of terms like \u201cnot racist\u201d or \u201crace neutral policy.\u201d That\u2019s because <strong>there is no in-between when it comes to antiracism and racism\u2014anything that\u2019s not antiracist is racist.<\/strong> Likewise, there is no such thing as a \u201crace neutral policy\u201d: All policies and ideas either advance or hamper equality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform example: Racist policies have created funding imbalances between Black and White schools. A scholarship program open only to Black people is antiracist because it strives for educational equality between racial groups. Axing this scholarship program because White people aren\u2019t allowed to apply may seem \u201crace neutral,\u201d but, in fact, canceling the program would be racist because it would mean canceling something that\u2019s aimed at remedying the current funding imbalance and thereby promoting racial equity.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Race neutral programs can actually be more dangerous than the agenda of the alt right.<\/strong> While the alt right is unlikely to actually create a White ethnostate, racial neutrality has a track record of leaving policies that create inequity in place and striking down programs that create equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, racial neutrality often goes hand-in-hand with ideas around ignoring the existence of race (the notion of being \u201ccolor blind\u201d). While race is a power construct, not a meaningful scientific category, it still affects everyone\u2019s lives. Pretending it doesn\u2019t exist allows racists to carry out business as usual\u2014if we ignore race, then we\u2019re blind to racial inequity. Dispensing with racial groups will be one of the very <em>last<\/em> steps in the struggle to end racism, not the first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it mean to be &#8220;race neutral&#8221; when it comes to policies?
