DiAngelo observes that when their reactions are challenged, they maintain racial inequality. DiAngelo is an anti-racist educator and she deftly illuminates in this book the phenomenon of white fragility. This book allows the readers to understand that racism is a practice that is not restricted to 'bad people.' She discusses the defensive moves that white people make when they are racially challenged. White fragility appears in a range of emotions like fear, anger, and guilt. It also appears to include silence and argumentation. These behaviors reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent further meaningful cross-racial dialogue. DiAngelo explores white fragility, how it develops, how it gets triggered, how it protects racial inequality and how we can engage people better.
