We
need
to
talk
about
racism
before
it
destroys
our
democracy.
And
that
conversation
needs
to
start
with
an
acknowledgement
that
racism
is
coded
into
even
the
most
ordinary
interactions.Every
time
we
interact
with
another
human
being,
we
unconsciously
draw
on
a
set
of
expectations
to
guide
us
through
the
encounter.
What
many
of
us
in
the
United
States—especially
white
people—do
not
recognize
is
that
centuries
of
institutional
racism
have
inescapably
molded
those
expectations.
This
leads
us
to
act
with
implicit
biases
that
can
shape
everything
from
how
we
greet
our
neighbors
to
whether
we
take
a
second
look
at
a
resume.
This
is
tacit
racism,
and
it
is
one
of
the
most
pernicious
threats
to
our
nation.In
Tacit
Racism,
Anne
Warfield
Rawls
and
Waverly
Duck
illustrate
the
many
ways
in
which
racism
is
coded
into
the
everyday
social
expectations
of
Americans,
in
what
they
call
Interaction
Orders
of
Race.
They
argue
that
these
interactions
can
produce
racial
inequality,
whether
the
people
involved
are
aware
of
it
or
not,
and
that
by
overlooking
tacit
racism
in
favor
of
the
fiction
of
a
“color-blind”
nation,
we
are
harming
not
only
our
society’s
most
disadvantaged—but
endangering
the
society
itself.Ultimately,
by
exposing
this
legacy
of
racism
in
ordinary
social
interactions,
Rawls
and
Duck
hope
to
stop
us
from
merely
pretending
we
are
a
democratic
society
and
show
us
how
we
can
truly
become one.
