Almost everybody cares about racism, but they don't care about what certain people call racism because those people use it to apply to almost everything frequently with literally 0 evidence.

Take this person's argument for example. He just said tracking "is racist" without an iota of evidence. Why should a parent care about that? Why should anybody?

Personally I find it much more racist to lower expectations and tracks of mathematical success to people as a function of thier race.

So yeah, almost everybody cares about racism, but that doesn't mean simply by invoking the term without evidence people should care, only fools care about that.

People define what a racist policy differently. Until that changes, I stand by what I said. If people don't care about these types of inequalities or think it's an actual inequality, we should not try to appeal to them by saying we'll fix it.
Simple as that.
