Important bit:
"The Wikimedia Foundation defines racial equity as shifting away from US and Eurocentricity, White-male-imperialist-patriarchal supremacy, superiority, power and privilege" "Racial equity aims to promote ... non-White, non-US ... communities"Take that as you will, but I’ve donated my last dollar.
Feeling more inspired now to make a donation next time.
All the more power to you. Its your money.
The entire quote
- How do you define “racial justice/ racial equity”?
The Wikimedia Foundation defines racial equity as shifting away from US and Eurocentricity, White-male-imperialist-patriarchal supremacy, superiority, power and privilege to create an environment that is inclusive and reflects the experiences of communities of color worldwide. These modes of privilege mentioned above function as setting the dominant social, political, legal, policy-oriented, and cultural norms around the world.
Racial equity means acknowledging explicit and implicit affirmative actions for White people and groups with privilege related to skin color are created systemically through institutional power, dominance, and control.
Racial equity aims to promote consistent and sustained repair for non-White, non-US and Eurocentric communities and communities that continue to experience harm due to racism and colorism.
Lastly, racial equity includes authentic and intersectional, racial, ethnic and/or color demographic representation that promotes sustained and consistent participation of people from oppressed communities based on skin color.
I just had a brief look at Bryan Lunduke, the author of this article, since the stance for ‘neutrality’ didn’t really sit well with how editorialized the article was. It seems like the guy is pretty weird and right-wing conspiracy brained, which explains this kind of journalism.
