I am tired of the endless pattern of racism being perpetuated by senior academics, junior BIPOC call it out and are silenced or ignored until more senior people draw attention to it, then there's non-apologies or performative apologies that either don't acknowledge the junior--

BIPOC, or cast blame on them for not framing the critique politely/professionally/voicing their concerns on social media rather than scholarly venues or email or whatever is deemed more appropriate than social media. And then nothing changes, and the situation repeats itself.

This is an endless cycle that's happening again, and again. And anyone focusing on trying to making anthropology and academia less racist, less neo-colonial, more inclusive, more diverse, ends up swirling though this endless whirlpool of making the same critiques, then

hearing the same hand-wavy sorry-but-not-sorry performative apologies that are directed to appease senior white colleagues, and then watch the same behavior happen again, and again, and again, until we are all in a constant burned-out state of exhaustion
