Yes, similar to that. But because (as I understand it) it comes from sociology, and one of the reasons power is essential is because without it, the prejudiced is effectively irrelevant from a societal pov.
I was introduced to it from listening to a female sociology(?) professor from SOAS referencing it in a discussion about something on R4 a few years ago. So unfortunately I don't have any helpful references. Maybe someone else does?
The issue with bringing the idea up in regular chats, is that it's not what other people mean - a bit like a bank "giving you a mortgage". But in this space I thought it was worth mentioning.

Google to the rescue, possibly.

Absolutely, this is all about being better people so any pointers towards that or failings/blindspots are helpful. Thanks

Is that based on something like this; so its useless to call out racism since everyone is inherently racist and instead you have to specifically change/challenge the negative discrimination?

Is there anyone / anything you would recommend reading on it
