How did I get two downvotes for this?
Shes not saying hard work is racist shes saying that if you are white- believing you got where you are via hard work is wrong particularly in the setting of education.
The issue I bring up is then we must apply that across the board given the admission quotas that have been prevalent the past 2 decades

While Putman believes that schools chiefly perpetuate these harmful ideologies, she also believes that college professors aren’t powerless, saying they can help undo students’ belief in meritocracy and equal opportunity through intensive re-education.
Professors should teach students “how racism and whiteness function in various contexts, the powerful influence of systems and institutions, and the pervasiveness of whiteness ideologies within the United States,” she adds, recommending the use of “role-play activities” and “readings, discussions, films, and activities.”

Putman puts forth the idea that Americans are falsely "socialized to believe that we got to where we are… because of our own individual efforts.”

It has been longer than 2 decades. There were affirmative action quotas in the 1980's and I think they were implemented by JFK.
