As evidenced by the poster above quoting MLK as if MLK would be opposed to CRT. Also interestingly, the post on the front page the other day discussing that MIT lecturer who argued that everything in college should be based of merit and fairness instead of taking into account race and discrimination and minority status. Like you said, nothing about that is strictly racist, but it does result in race biased results. Namely that white and often east asian families are more likely to have their children be setup in early childhood to be on a path to ivy league (prep schools, private tutors, etc) than black, latino, and indigenous families. Just boiling it down to merit, or who "deserves" to be there completely ignores the circumstances and challenges faced by minorities and disadvantaged people to get to where they were at.
