So I see that a high school in Oregon thinks it's a good idea to make students take a survey about "white privilege." It asks them if they would agree to statements like "I can be in the company of people of my race most of the time," or, "If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of hassle-free renting or purchasing in an area in which I would want to live." These are designed to make white students believe they are extraordinarily and unfairly privileged if they can say yes to any of these statements, as they enjoy these things only because they are white. What the survey really does is the worst possible thing you can do if you want to diffuse racial tensions in our society: It keeps race front and center in everyone's minds. It makes race more important than character or performance. It keeps everyone focused on the very thing that's causing all the tension in the first place. For some reason, our self-styled elites seem to think the rest of us have an extraordinarily difficult time dealing with people who don't look like us. They look at society and they see constant and incessant race-based tension, and they think they have to force us all to get past it by giving us surveys to take while lecturing us about how we're supposed to be more inclusive, non-discriminatory or whatever else.
