strategies as to what is most important to focus on and precisely how so.

Charles: How does the distinction bear on these strategies ?

(((((((((

we've already got plenty of efforts in place to deal with cultural
imperialism of the sort denny's engaged in via educational and curriculum
reform, cultural and racial sensitivity training, as well as outright laws
against that sort of behavior.  but what i want to see people work on as
well is breaking down the hidden, not so obvious sources of structural
racism.  that approach asks us to question the taken-for-granted
assumptions and norms that regulate our social institutions.

((((((((((((

Charles: Assume the Dennies were not structural. Don't you think they derived from the structural ? No relation between the structural and non-structural ? Where does the non-structural come from ?
