In a move that likely has no ties to Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, Carmen Van Kerckhove has decided to retire from the race and diversity game and take up a new fight—literally—running Brooklyn-based karate school Urban Martial Arts with her husband.
Carmen’s race-based résumé includes founder and publisher of Racialicious, co-founder and president of diversity training firm New Demographic, cultural commentator for CNN, MSNBC and other media sources, creator of multiple blogs and more.
Let’s hope Carmen’s retirement is in the style of Michael Jordan or Brett Favre. All the best.
I was shocked and saddened to see this when I got her email the other day, however, I do completely understand.
ReplyDeleteAt a point you feel like you're screaming at a damn wall of ignorance.
Why waste time preaching a message of diversity to people who don't want to change.
