It's a 152-page document with over 600 line items.

Narrow it down to a page? Using the adobe search returns nothing within the document for "inherently racist."

The rest of is it just you, making claims, without anything to back it up.

On the contrary, it's you, just labeling the other poster's related experiences as lies, because you choose not to believe them.

DISRUPTING THE SYSTEM
RESPONDING TO THE SYSTEMIC RACISM IN ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION

That proves that one student chose systemic racism in architecture education as their topic for a Masters thesis. They're required to choose a topic related to the degree - which in this case is Architecture.

White Space: the Architecture of Institutional Racism

Keywords: institutions, white supremacy, racism, white space.

”Racist ideologies are embedded in spaces we design. From
courtrooms to classrooms, and from circulation to threshold,
architects in the US design spaces that reflect an institutionalization of white supremacy. While the whiteness of
such spaces may be invisible to some, it is oppressive and
even violent for others. This paper contributes a framework
for describing and analyzing institutional white space in
architecture. We build on sociological theories of white institutions to demonstrate how architectural elements express
and perpetuate institutional racism. We illustrate this
framework through reviewing sociological interpretations
of institutional spaces. Such elements as spatial hierarchy
in courtrooms not only harbor a white institutional history,
but they engender a racialized experience of space. We argue
that reading architecture through the proposed lens of white
institutional space is an important step toward confronting
institutional racism inherent in design and space. ”

That's almost in the James Lindsay Peter Boghossian laughable hoax realm.

Read the full paper, seems they're serious.

ok, so we defined "white space"...

...now, someone define what "black space" would be

Despite what the MAGA types on this thread are pushing, never lose sight of the fact that whites are indeed the biggest beneficiaries of Affirmative Action and DEI policies which would essentially make them the faces of AA & DEI.

In reality, institutionalized racism (written in the United States Constitution, Civil Wars were fought, Acts were passed to eliminate etc) where winners and losers were decided based solely on race is and probably will be the biggest "Affirmative Action" policy ever implemented...again enjoyed by whites. What exactly are you all complaining about? That you’re slowly losing this advantage to a more level playing field?

Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone
https://time.com/4884132/affirmative...s-white-women/

White women benefit most from affirmative action — and are among its fiercest opponents
The willingness to erase white women from the story of affirmative action is part of the problem.

Notice how i can posted article after article to support these statements, but those who oppose can only provide highly questionable and even outright bogus anecdotal "stories?"

White women and affirmative action in employment in six southern cities

"The purpose of this research is to examine data from 167 randomly selected businesses on the impact
of affirmative action and white female employment in six representative Florida cities. OLS regression
analysis was used to explore the independent effects of affirmative action among other employmentrelated predictors. While white women are doing relatively well in the job market, employer support for
affirmative action has no significant influence on their employment, even at higher job levels."

https://spia.uga.edu/faculty_pages/r...tiveAction.pdf

"Since the 1970s, affirmative action has required employers to seek out and give preference to
women and minorities in occupations where they are under-represented. The effects of affirmative action on white women’s success in the job market are difficult to assess because the period of implementation of affirmative action in the 1970s and 1980s coincided with the rapid increase
of women in the labor force (Reskin, 1998). Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, white women’s
progress in the labor market and increased earnings seemed to be due to better education and
more work experience, factors unrelated to affirmative action (O’Neill & O’Neill, 2000)"

"White women compete well in the job markets of these communities. Indeed, white women
hold a higher percentage of jobs overall (37%) than any other race/gender group, although
white males (33%) and African Americans (26%) are not far behind. Hispanics are a small
proportion of the population in these cities (4%) and therefore hold relatively few jobs. The
figure for white women in our sample of businesses is only slightly higher than the 2000 U.S.
Census reports for these cities which show 31% of the labor force (age 16 and over) is composed
of white women"
