The endgame is to make seattle's municipal government the arbiter of the new orthodoxy, and then work outward. At the end of the session on "internalized racial superiority," the diversity trainers outline strategies for converting outsiders and recommend specific "practices for interrupting others' whiteness." In effect, the activists have organized an ideological pyramid scheme-using public dollars to establish their authority within the government, then using that authority to recruit others into the program. As Lindsay writes, "the goal is no longer to indoctrinate on what is 'rightthink' and 'wrongthink.' It is to make the [subject's] thinking be completely in line with the view of the world described by the cult doctrine."

How far can this racial-justice shakedown extend itself? The new racial orthodoxy has seen exponential growth in the past few years and has proved extremely difficult for local governments and elite institutions to resist. The movement's key rhetorical premise is designed as a trap: if you are not an "antiracist," then you are a "racist"-and must be held to account. Skeptics might dismiss seattle's "interrupting whiteness" training as a West Coast oddity, but it is part of a nationwide movement to make this kind of identity politics the foundation of our public discourse. It may be coming soon to a city or town near you.
