Cornell University in the US has mandated that — come the vaccine — students will need to have been vaccinated to enter the Library and other Uni Buildings. But only if you're white. If you're a Person of Colour, you need not.
Now, imagine white students — all fully vaxxed up — in the Library coming upon some Black classmates. Not knowing if they were vaccinated or not, wouldn't the natural thing be to recoil? Indeed would t it be required? To keep away? To keep this social distance, as we are endlessly told we must do?
In short, will the result of this policy not be more racism, not less?
And isn't this entirely predictable?
