White Fragility: why it's so hard for White people to talk about racism |
Diangelo, an American academic, lectures about racism and white privilege. Her argument is that racism is not restricted to 'bad people'. White people are unconsciously racist because they are white in a society built on white privilege. She exposes racism in thought and action and calls for humility and vigilance. Humility to recognise our white racialised identities and its effects on our lives and behaviours and vigilance to prevent us from behaving as racists in our daily lives.
