I don't disagree with the first two sentences, but I think in general there's been far too much movement from 'not really noticing the problem' to 'despair'. Let's experiment with 'people and organisations try and enforce the norm' and then see if it is actually hard for it to be re-bottled.
Agree it's bad. One thing would be more broad-based movements that strongly opposed racist abuse, 'Sunak isn't English', etc - where there's strong consensus - without also advocating for 'decolonisation' or BME-only internships.
Football seemed to do it well. I've seen few equivalents elsewhere.

Agree - one problem in pushing back is that pretty much all of the anti-racist civic society institutions that were so important in the 1950s and 1960s have basically become off-putting, poorly focused omnicause organisations.
