Toast message
1. The idea is introduced in a literal sense—your baby is racist—a shocking headline paired with some milquetoast speculation about the possibility of biologically innate race preference. Maybe even a little comforting, but just newspaper sensationalism, nothing more.
2. A few years pass and the presence of *engrained* race preference in children is rexamined and recontextualized as a social phenomenon. Your child is no longer a curious artifact of primitive biology, he is *participating* in a backward social structure. But there's nothing new to say, right? Your baby is racist. We already knew this.
3. More time passes and our privilege-preserving soft-handed treatment of embedded racism is outed as the true cause of structural racism. Your baby's very existence perpetuates an *entrenched* oppressive structure. But there's nothing new to discuss, again. It's been a part of our discourse for years now; you most not have been paying attention. *Your baby is racist.*
