SO done with performative Academic #EDI!
Talk: We are committed to diversity!
Action: Only hire white folx
Talk: We are against racism and for equity!
Action: Highly qualified BIPOC folx watch lesser educated and less experienced white folx get jobs and promotions 🧵
I don’t think institutions realize that we can SEE who gets the jobs we BIPOC applied for and never even get called for an interview? We see it is not the CV or the expertise. It is “Fit” and by this they mean “fit into whiteness”
My heart goes out to the BIPOC women I connect with in Canada who are so undervalued at their institutions and suffer under oppressive and racist systems with the prettiest Anti-racism statements.
I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know what it will take to end our visible invisibility. But I will continue to hold the line where I am. I promise you that 🖤🤎
