Told my non-academic husband that Academic Twitter is on fire again. His response: “Someone say something racist or bigoted again?” Funny that he knew exactly what was going on. But sad that it’s the same f’n story again and again.

This is the result of performative EDI work. BIPOC people are not part of a checklist to prove that people and institutions are diverse. Being anti-racist requires deep commitment to considering AND reshaping how the entire SYSTEM is supporting BIPOC students and scholars.
