Anti-Racist Racism

A web site that contained this definition of racism was recently pulled after a series of complaints:

Those aspects of society that overtly and covertly attribute value and normality to white people and whiteness, and devalue, stereotype, and label people of color as 'other,' different, less than, or render them invisible. Examples of these norms include defining white skin tones as nude or flesh colored, having a future time orientation, emphasizing individualism as opposed to a more collective ideology, defining one form of English as standard, and identifying only Whites as great writers or composers.
Where did this nasty little piece of left-wing bigotry that claims that racism is solely a "white" problem and that opposing collectivism is racist come from? A Trotskyite fringe group? ANSWER? The comments section of Daily Kos?

No. It's from Seattle Public Schools.

Home schooling just became much more attractive.
