Is your generation really ‘post racial’?

Prompt snagged from: NY Times

Hells no. As a double minority, I say this with the utmost confidence.

We’re discovering out how the education system gaslit generations over the years, like what the U.S. did to the Native Americans and now it’s all being exposed.

Right now, racism is running rampant and with no end in sight despite Gen Z being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation. But diversity doesn’t erase racism. I still have patients who don’t want to be seen by me because I’m not white.

Another prime example was what happened to George Floyd. Columbus Day changing to Indigenous Day but now people are fighting to have it changed back to Columbus Day. Some cities have scaled back on Juneteenth celebrations and DEI initiatives have been rolled the hell back.

I don’t know if I’ll ever see this country being post-racial in my lifetime but who knows?
