Appreciate the mention of data indicating greater acceptance of social mixing between ethnicities (in contrast to the messaging by official channels and the media.) Also appreciate the acknowledgment that the infantilizing, condescending tone often present is off-putting to many. Someone suggested that such a tone, coupled with a message of victimhood, rounded out with the assertion that defensiveness is warranted as a default state, seemed harmful to people’s mental health. It certainly does, hence even the least savvy among us can't help but have questions.

So much ground covered in this piece. Really enjoyed taking my time considering all the points made and digesting everything.

This was a brilliant article and I think plants the seeds for rethinking a better version of DEIB
