When the cartoonist Scott Adams made a statement that was deemed racist, he was not only denounced thoroughly in the media, but nearly every major newspaper, hundreds of minor ones, his book publisher, and his syndicate canceled his projects. It’s impossible to argue that his treatment is an example of institutional racism. It’s easy to say it’s an example of institutional anti-racism.
