Blaming racism (an abstract bogeyman that can never be defeated) and focusing on equalizing outcomes (or meeting a diversity quota) is a problem because it sabotages the real efforts necessary to improve things that have very little to do with race: deeply dysfunctional governance, across justice, education, policing, and in policy-making.
It's easier to say "silent whites are complicit" than it is to ask how we can lift everyone up without tearing others down.
