Questioning "Systematic Racism" Is Itself Racist, Racist

Not exactly a Kafka trap, but a close cousin of one.Actual sentence actually written in defense of this dude by one of his (education...unsurprisingly...) colleagues:

That systemic racism exists is not a matter that should be ‘up for debate’, any more than climate change or the tenets of epidemiology should be.

If you'd put such a line in the mouth of a character in an academic novel, it'd be ridiculed as hackery...and rightly so.
