On: Reflections on the color of my skin

Because once racism is systemic, actively avoiding racism will continue to perpetuate the current situation. Great if you're part of the privileged group, not so much much if you're hoping for a change.

I feel like this is an issue that must be fixed at the root (education), not at the leaves (actual job).

I agree that there is a systemic discrepancy that needs to be addressed, but in my opinion this is a completely wrong way to approach the problem.

I'm not trying to tell anyone what the correct solution is (I've experienced societies with wildly different approaches to this), but doing it at the leaf (as you express it) is a solution. It's not the only solution, but it is one. Furthermore, this solution does work to some degree, and it has quite quick results, compared to education which takes generations to impose any real change.
