People think we live in a colorblind society and that these policies are colorblind. They aren't. When policies like this disproportionately affect people of color there is a reason behind that. I get that this idea makes some people uneasy, you're not alone in that. This is why organizations aren't going to overtly express targeting people of color, but they still find ways.


Actually, I did. I said that I have heard/seen the phrase used without a request being made plenty of times. It's actually very common.

Well if you you you as the subject matter expert (I've seen it plenty of times) then you are never going to think you are wrong. But logic leads me to believe that when it is stated that someone refuses to leave they have been asked to do so. She didn't say won't leave she said the refuse. Something has to be offered before it can be refused. You speak about folks inferring. It takes a whole new level of inference to look at this situation as racist. I know it makes some folks uneasy to think every time a person of color is asked to follow the rules that it is not racist. You are not alone.
