Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

This was a very insightful read. The book covers an often overlooked aspect of British colonialism and racial discrimination, which sets a foundation for understanding the roots of systemic inequalities in Britain today. Personally, I think the UK tends to avoid teaching about the country's colonial past, so this book offers a good start for anyone who wants to begin researching it and better understand race relations in the UK. 

The chapters on white privilege were particularly interesting and relatable to me. The author effectively articulated the advantages that benefit white people and the accompanying challenges faced by people of colour, such as needing to work harder to achieve the same results or not having access to the same opportunities. 

Overall, it was a good read—I had it on my reading list for a while.
