golem's review against another edition
There were some really, really helpful tips in here about how not to be so annoying and exhausting to your BIPOC, especially Black, colleagues and friends--although a) these are all things I have read in books by BIPOC people and b) from all the personal anecdotes, it is obvious that the author is one of those people who annoys and exhausts friends and colleagues.

Written for white progressives, DiAngelo challenges those who want racism to end without confrontation and self-evaluation. Informed by her own personal behavior and those attending workshops on racism, she also includes the voices of frustrated BIPOC people who are confronted with "nice" white people who don't want them to be angry about racism.

This is such an important book. As a white feminist who I consider myself “nice” this is very important for me to understand how my “niceness” is actually perpetuating systemic racism. Definitely read white fragility first!
