In a video uploaded in March, Mr Huffman explained his decision to relocate, and was particularly scathing of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the US.
“As a white family, [we were] being told we’re racist and not given the same opportunities because of the colour of our skin,” he said.
As someone who has been white and living in the U.S. his whole life, I’ve never had someone suggest I’m racist based on the color of my skin, at least not to my face (I can’t say what folks say behind my back).
I wonder if the Huffmans were being accused of racism because of their racism rather than merely because of the color of their skin.
They might be right regarding not having the same opportunities, because based on what I’ve heard others have gone through, it’s clear to me that I’ve had it much better than the average minority.
Holy Christ, I hope not!
