These may appear to be interventions in a peculiarly French culture war:
a combined spectre of ‘anti-white racism’, a ‘Muslim problem’ and
pernicious American influence is, for many in France, an irresistible
combination. But there are plenty of global parallels. In September,
Donald Trump issued a directive to stop federal organisations delivering
anti-bias training that drew on ‘critical race theory’ or ‘white
privilege’ because they were ‘un-American propaganda training sessions’.
In South Africa, Helen Zille, the former leader of the Democratic
Alliance, has often attacked ‘critical race theory’, which she calls ‘a
new set of ideas rooted in Frantz Fanon’s writings’. Last month,
theUKwomen and equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch, claimed in the House
of Commons that teaching ‘elements of critical race theory’ in schools –
in particular, ‘white privilege and inherited racial guilt’ – was illegal.
