When @HPluckrose and I first started reading a lot of Critical Race Theory for Cynical Theories (chapter 5), we noticed this happening to us too. It's a reliable consequence of bad racial theory. It took some time and a lot of hard work to kind of overcome it. It's poison. https://twitter.com/litgal/status/1295733125486608385

I say "kind of overcome it" because I can't not see race now, thanks to CRT's influence, but I learned to see it and reverse the CRT narratives about it very quickly. I think this is a net loss, honestly, but at least it never interferes with my relationships or interactions now.

This was hard work. Most people will not do it. And maybe it's still a kind of racism that just wasn't there before (it is by the definition update I'd propose). It is an unavoidable conclusion: Critical Race Theory makes everyone it touches into racists (no matter what race).

Critical Race Theory is designed to interpret what I've said here as my own racism being unmasked, like it's a permanent feature that it uncovered, but this is a lie. Racism comes of racial salience, which it increases maximally. It then uses its own failure to promote itself.

Critical Race Theory makes people into racists or more racist and then uses that fact to its own advantage by saying "look how much racism we found! It's everywhere!" because it assumes racism is present from the outset and is to be uncovered. It's so manipulative. Utter poison.
