As for “CRT manifests as" — I literally have met these people online. The kind that say all white people are racist. They get thousands of claps on Medium.

Extremists are everywhere and I don’t disagree with the premise of CRT (systemic racism) but I do disagree with people like Robin Di Angelo and those who believe that anything and everything is a sign of racism, that only white people can be racist (racism exists all over the world and even in America POC can be racist to each other), that racial dynamics in all countries are the same as American racism etc.

You can’t pretend these ideas are merely a right wing fantasy. I encounter these people all the time. And just because I don’t agree with their extremist views doesn’t mean I don’t want racism to end.

And these people call what they believe Critical Race Theory.
