Not A Teachable Moment

Confusing siblings is not a matter of racial bias:

Tennis superstar Serena Williams took to Twitter on Wednesday to call out The New York Times for using a photo of her sister, Venus Williams, in an article about her new capital venture fund.

She called on the Times to “do better” with “engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases.”

“No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it’s not enough. This is why I raised $111 million for Serena Ventures,” Williams said on Twitter, adding “even I am overlooked.”

It’s a common mistake. Must we make everything about jargony jargon current rightthink?
