Every white person should be assigned to read White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo's unflinching book on the mundane and insidious ways racism is perpetuated — and why so many of us have such a challenging time even discussing it. In chapters like "White Women's Tears," she takes to task some of the most defensive and destructive behaviours white people use to deflect, distract, deny, and centre themselves in conversations about race, and gives real, tangible advice on how to stop it.
