It would, however, allow clients and colleagues to know that it is that lawyer's intention to
do the bare minimum to support
racialized licensees and other underrepresented groups in our profession.
The writer argues in his letter that (i) the evidence
does not support the conclusion that there is systemic racism in the legal professions, (ii) the claim of systemic racism vilifies lawyers and paralegals by labelling them as racist, (iii) the 13 recommendations are a form of unauthorized social engineering, (iv) racism and bullying are just part of life and should be simply be endured and overcome by
racialized licensees as others have

racialized lawyers and (vii)
racialized lawyers who join legal associations based on race or ethnic origin can not complain that they are not treated equally.
