proclaims race meaningless yet is deeply divided by race? In the
face of pervasive racial inequality and segregation, most whites
cannot answer that question. Robin DiAngelo argues that a number
of factors make this question difficult for whites miseducation
about what racism is; ideologies such as individualism and
colorblindness; defensiveness; and a need to protect (rather
than expand) our worldviews.
