&gt; The form of your argument seems to be that if a policy has a race&#x2F;sex disparity in impact then it&#x27;s inherently racist&#x2F;sexist.<p>No, the form of my argument is that a policy can be implicitly racist without being explicitly racist. A law banning rap music from the radio won&#x27;t appear racist if your only criteria for a racist policy is explicitly mentioning race. This is why I included the Atwater quote.
