What — you didn’t know you’re a seething pile of “systemic racism?” No matter — that ignorance is all the proof needed. Just ask Alec Kerr, whose Dec. 18 op-ed hops on the everyone is “racist” bandwagon, the issue de jour for the perpetually indignant. You harbor “passive thoughts and stereotypes” about Black people, says Mr. Kerr, and that’s all it takes to trigger a cascade of stock bromides, culminating in the usual demand: shut up and listen, racist.

You might think our moral instructors would want to reveal precisely what constitutes the “systemic racism” that daily afflicts Black people, but no — they never do.
