Ms. Wente got it right - many people, professionals and organizations have a vested interest to maintain that our society has made no progress in racism and even tend to exaggerate what is happening.  Some of these people truly believe it and their colored glasses see racism and discrimination everywhere.  They invented 'safe space', 'trigger', 'appropriation', 'white privilege'.  But they are oblivious to the fact that when they monopolize the grievances and shut others up, they act the same way as the oppressors in the past.  It makes me feel that what these 'anti-discrimination activists' want is pay back time, not equality as they claim.  They contribute to the divisions and fractures in our society instead of lessen them.
