It might help if we could get everybody to call CRT for what it is: "Critically Racist Theory".
Likewise, putting racism in perspective as a subset of bigotry would deflate that agenda. People divide themselves up over all kinds of things from tribe, language, religion, race, to politics and social class. I'm sure that list is incomplete. Lot's to choose from at the "hater's smorgasboard".
Yeah, I know that racism was the primary form of bigotry that was institutionalized in the US, and was use to create a "slave caste". I'm old enough to remember jim-crow and that we've had 50 years of "affirmative action". This country isn't the same as it was 25 years ago, let alone 50, 75, or 200 years ago.
Perspective isn't about forgetting the past, but about distinguishing it from the present
