The…very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do.None of this is necessary.

The other paper www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... foregrounds CRT presenting evidence that race staff forums (like BAME staff networks in the UK) are often performative. Despite this, there is also evidence of agency among members to struggle for an anti-racist university.
