Critical Race Theory Is Doubly Racist Against Asians Details COMMENTARY-The battle over critical race theory – at its core, a “different” way of looking at race relations in the U.S. – continues to heat up. As a community organizer on the ground in a very divided Orange County, I am front and center witnessing top-down efforts to implement and fund Critical Race Theory curriculum into our local schools. I am also of Asian descent – and stand leading the charge for pushback from those who see CRT for what it really is. Critical Race Theory is, in a word, racist. While supposedly honoring the minority experience, it is condescending and hateful towards the dominant culture experience, calling anything “white” racist, ugly, and guilty. Anyone who conforms is “white adjacent” and therefore also guilty. The entire premise of CRT is rooted in disdain and rejection. That doesn’t mean that many of the bigger and finer points concerning race are not worth exploring. That doesn’t mean that minorities don’t have a different and often alienated experience in every facet of American life. Validation would be obviously preferable in a perfect world. Still, I believe that approaching race as the overriding issue and a CRT curriculum fundamentally rooted in division and victim mentality ultimately offers no positive way forward.
