Colormute: race talk dilemmas in an American school

We don't belong to simple race groups, but we do

Race doesn't matter, but it does

The de-raced words we use when discussing plans for racial equality can actually keep us from discussing ways to make opportunities racially equal

The more complex inequality seems to get, the more simplistic inequality analysis seems to become

The questions we ask most about race are the very questions we most suppress

Although talking in racial terms can make race matter, not talking in racial terms can make race matter too

Moving forward

Practically speaking: words for educators in particular.
