The question of whether America will become a majority-minority nation and when that might happen is intensely disputed, of enormous political import and extraordinarily complex.
This is exactly the same argument as I’ve responded to before. Two articles that appeared in the opinion section of The Times over the past few years made the case that misleading statistical artifacts used by the Census Bureau have increased the fear of a majority-minority America, a fear that played a crucial role in the 2016 election.
Both Richard Alba, of CUNY, in “The Myth of the White Minority,” and Herbert Gans, of Columbia, in “The Census and Right Wing Hysteria,” argued that questionable census classifications led to an undercount of America’s white majority. This anxiety over the decline of white hegemony, in turn, helped propel a segment of conservative voters to cast ballots for Donald Trump.
The year journalism starts paying reparations
“Reparative journalism is explicit in its commitment to doing the work of racial justice, and by extension without apology social justice.”
This is not a prediction about 2021 as much as it is a call for what must come in the “after” we’ve all been waiting for some of us longer than others.
After 45. After the pandemic. After the uprisings.
Now that this consequential year has definitively denuded the unsustainability of American institutions as we know them, the work of reparations can begin. Specifically, the work of reparative journalism.
Reparative journalism1 is the term I use to describe a specific approach to newsmaking that centers structural vulnerability as its core value. It is the framework I envision for the news media to redeem itself by reconstructing our shared reality through radically inclusive editorial choices.
