Wow, a powerful tale with a deeply flawed, unlikeable, and recognizable main character. Commentary on the insidiousness of racism and white women's societal pass by claiming victimization and maintaining denial of wrongdoing. A dive into power, privilege, perspective, and fear of cancel culture and the desire to avoid it at all costs - minus real change or responsibility.
