Two liberal scholars offer better way to discuss what is ‘racist’ and what is ‘sexist’: book review

Some people are “convictors” and others are “acquitters” when it comes to determining whether racism or sexism occurred.

That is the thesis of “Is it racist? Is it sexist?,” a new book out now from Stanford University Press.

In the book, Professor Jessi Streib and Professor Betsy Leondar-Wright explore the views of white conservatives and liberals.

They determine that conservatives are generally “acquitters,” when it comes to charges of racism and sexism. In other words, they tend to believe someone is innocent of an accusation until proven otherwise. Liberals tend to be convictors, ready to believe accusations of racism and sexism.
