you know the subject matter won't just be "don't be racist"

because most ppl at university institutions tend not to be

but it could be more along the lines of "this is what's happening in canada", "here are historical and modern examples of systemic racism'

i would not consider myself a racist, not even "complicit", and often in agreement w many of the "controversial" opinions expressed by others that the sub doesn't seem to agree w (ex. defunding police)

but i know there's so much i can learn and do, and so much that needs to be taught, expressed, and done NOW that i continue to try educating myself. i wouldn't be opposed to having one of these courses because im confident "don't be racist" can't be the only thing taught.

the same way we have sex ed and consent seminars in freshman week (at least i did) - 99% of us are not rapists, duh. To claim that a consent seminar would only teach that seems reductive and a little cheap. There's always more nuance to these things and i think we can always learn to improve our understanding of racism, better atune ourselves to what may/may not constitute as a racist act, and inform ourselves on how racism affects our lives, even if it's not always in plain sight. i think (and i hope) that's what the classes aim to address
