I've taken classes like these too back in the 00's, partner is younger with a masters, is a social worker who works for the government, and has been through more education than I have, and she has definitely been exposed to this idea in education. I just asked her and she confirmed she learned this in higher education. Who knows for sure without taking every class with every professor but I've provided material for you to read where people in academia admit that the idea is out there, in academic circles.
Some interpretations of CRT suggest that, within a white-dominated system, racism is primarily perpetrated by those with power and privilege, which are often associated with whiteness.
According to CRT, racism is not just about individual prejudices or biases but also about the systemic and institutionalized ways in which certain groups are marginalized and excluded. In this context, the theory suggests that people of color can also exhibit prejudiced attitudes or behaviors, but these actions do not have the same impact as those perpetrated by individuals with power and privilege.
See how simple it would be to conflate or for this fact to be implied, especially if not thuroughly dispelled?
Also, why are you so confrontational?
So, it's just feels, then, that makes you think the idea is implicit, while never having been explicit, and even when people tell you it's factually just not accurate?
The people who tend to feel this way, are also the ones who tend to blame climate change is caused by DEI...
I can see that you aren't having a conversation in good faith, you're not actually curious, you're prejudiced (evident in first reply), and you're bigotted, cannot even concider how another perspective may be valid.
So, Im going to stop replying.
