Right now many leaders are asking how they can turn their companies anti-racist—that is, supporting an anti-racist policy through their actions, or expressing an anti-racist idea. It’s an important question, and we should all embrace the intent behind the inquiry.

So which problem should companies prioritize? Racism or bias?
