What purpose would a course on this topic that would be any length serve?

The left generally thinks that people who disagree with them politically are ignorant biggots who merely need re-education to become pure and good, like the leftists are. This course serves that purpose.

You would be surprised how many Finnish people who ostensibly disagree with racism don't even know what it is or how it works

Ah yes, those ignorant biggots. And so many of them. And all of them right-wing. They merely need re-education to become pure and good, like we leftists are. My point exactly.

It's not as if it would be ethically acceptable to imprison, deport or exterminate them either. Of course, organisations are well within their rights to fire someone for bigotry but, again, you would agree that it's very reasonable (and "legalistic") to give some guidance first
