"Linguist Dr. John McWhorter, who has taught at Cornell and Berkeley, notes that "conversation about race" actually means a one-sided lecture. McWhorter, who is black, says that the phrase "conversation about race ... means that black people have something to teach white people if white people would just sit and listen." That is exactly the sense in which kindergarteners at this Minnesota school have a conversation about race. "

I'm not sure I can respond to that without...

This is Minnesota. Theirs was the first state in the US to pass a civil rights law ~ to protect the Norwegians from the Swedes.

Sounds like nothing has changed.

McWhorter is on your side in this—he’s pointing out the absurdity and double meaning.

Not much response called for. McWhorter says it all.
