Liberal Racism

Jim Sleeper argues that what is often called "diversity" in liberal thought is, in fact, a form of racism that dangerously promotes the color-coding of public policy and civic culture. He examines the consequences across various societal spheres, asserting that these liberal efforts now invite discrimination rather than curb it. Sleeper contends that by overemphasizing racial differences, this new racism forces Americans to define themselves primarily by color. He advocates for muting racial affinities in civic life to uphold a unified American culture.
