The Charter of Whites: Systemic Racism and Critical Race Equality in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
[Introduction]: "Systemic racism and colourblindness are intimately linked (though, because of the ableist connotation of colourblindness, I will call the latter race evasiveness, unless I am directly quoting another scholar). The former – systemic racism – refers to how intergenerational legacies and ongoing practices of oppression and dispossession translate into contemporary societal inequality. The latter – race evasiveness – refers to the belief that those legacies and practices should not be accounted for in our contemporary legal, political, and economic thought. Put plainly, systemic racism is an efect and race evasiveness is a cause. To be clear, reasonable people can disagree over how race should be accounted for in policy. But it is inconceivable to think that, without some such accounting, legacies and practices of racial subordination will simply expire. The staggering racial inequalities that persist in Canada – indeed, globally – are no accident. And their end – if ever – will be no accident, either."

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
