The compensatory approach to alleged racism, even when the accusation can be falsified, is making prejudice even worse.

The same line of though and careless employment of statistics is used for women in computer science. Some freshmen courses have 5 women per 100 students. The reason is very likely not discrimination.

The most prevalent form of racism is enacted by supposed anti-racists. It splits people in colored (good) and non-colored (bad) people. Most people have moved beyond that already and you should not try to hold them back. You can view the world in that matter, you already got enough headwind and it is your problem.

There are indeed some logistical and historic reasons for why white people are more often found in STEM (medicine doesn't fit here at all) and these effects will lessen with time. Accelerating it just did damage and polarized people. Justified for white men to be angry, just for protocol. Why? Because you discriminated against them. This time in an official matter: institutional racism. Want to solve it? Quite you anti-racist job.

Again, this is a standard practice of middle management. Treat underlings differently to stay in power. A power game with only losers aside from the manager. Anti-racists mirror that strategy and I don't want any professional contact with them in any capacity.

Some companies put their money where their mouth is. Microsoft for example put significant resources into creating systems for accessibility. The usual "I am on the right side of history" HR and PR talk is annoying und unconvincing and indicative, that their workplace might actually be toxic regardless of race.

Anti-racism is not a new thing and it certainly isn't progressive. We had that shit already almost 100 years ago. Instead of studying anti-racism, you could have improved quotas by studying anything STEM. Don't put your failings on the shoulders of other people.

Color blindness is awesome, even if people aren't perfect. We can disagree here and both become happy. You need to stop your discrimination though.

Anti-racism also depends on the prevalence of racism. Otherwise their "job" vanishes. Humans tend to work around these problems and people denying egotism for themselves or others crash at their own requirements at some point. Stay healthy...
