Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm by Robin DiAngelo
4.0
I think it's critical to read books by BIPOC authors to understand their experience of racism, or to learn what systemic racism is and how it works.
This book isn't that. DiAngelo is trying to write about white people's experience of racism — the fact that we're born into a system that favours us at every turn by holding others down, and that all we have to do to perpetuate it is to turn a blind eye and not talk about it — and that's very triggering for white readers, as you can see from the many upset, defensive comments posted here.
