“Reverse Racism” and a Holiday Tempest in a (Boston) Teapot

It’s an unfortunate fact of life. Whenever visible minorities address the fact of white privilege, social inequities, or the necessity of DEI, we inevitably hear outraged cries of “reverse discrimination” and “reverse racism.” Or, as we will see, when we seek to gather in a space without white people. Any conversation or attempt to redress racism is quickly shushed from the beginning with overt racists and even well-intended white liberals alike intoning that they “don’t see race” and that everyone is “colorblind.” Well, it ain’t. Amid the furor over Harvard President Claudine Gay’s alleged anti-Semitism and plagiarism in her Harvard doctoral thesis, a smaller tempest in a Boston teapot was brewing over another Harvard graduate, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
