What does Antiracism Mean?
> I'm sure you have probably heard the term antiracist recently.  It is a
> current trend for organizations and businesses to use the term antiracist
> in their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion documentation and activities.
> But what does the term Antiracist really mean?
> Not being racist is NOT antiracism.  In fact, nobody in the americas can
> escape being racist in some way.
> Being antiracist is actively working toward creating a society that does
> not view individuals as representations of their entire people.
> Being antiracist is being actively engaged in bringing about this change
> in your organization. We must root out the idea that certain groups of
> people are superior, by their nature, and force structural change in our
> workplaces, organizations and society.
