Also will mandate training in "allyship, covering, and privilege."

"Covering" refers to the practice of leaving some aspect of one's full self behind in order to fit in to dominant culture. pic.twitter.com/vLg7aw3zBl

"Covering" was defined by the legal scholar Kenji Yoshino as the "civil rights struggle of the 21st century" but has not been as prevalent in activist terminology as privilege, allyship, micro-aggression and so forth.

An example of "covering" would be straightening one's hair in order to conform to an implicitly white standard in the workplace that would stigmatize naturally kinky hair as inherently inappropriate.

The term is tricky, however, because virtually any normative standard of comportment can (and has) been defined as inherently racist. (See the list of items described as comprising "white supremacy culture here:) https://t.co/NInpgqWpdR
