“It is important to note that multiculturalism does not share the postmodernist stance. Its passions are political; its assumptionsempirical; its conception of identities visceral. For it, there is no doubting that history is something that happened and that those happenings have left their mark within our collective consciousness.

And to claim that somebody can't simply because of their racial identity is deeply offensive.” IfsEnoughFactsLawRaceCasesIdentityJudgingTrainingClaimsPrejudiceFactorsCodeEthicalOffensivePremisesJudicialPreconceptionsJudicial SystemRacial Identity Author:Deborah Rhode
“I oftentimes receive the question, "What do you think is the most important social issue to focus on?" Or, "What's the most important component of identity? Is it gay rights or race or feminism?" And I'm like, "Well, they're all intertwined. It's all one conversation at the end of the day. You can't just pick one."
