White Fragility (w/ Dr. Robin DiAngelo)

Amy C. Waninger fills in for Zach to interview Dr. Robin DiAngelo, author of “White Fragility,” about just that. She helpfully unpacks the concept of whiteness and what it means in the context of American society, defines the term white solidarity and discusses its impact on black and brown people at work, and talks about what it looks like for white people to take responsibility for being less fragile. She also touches on the topic of diversity of thought and explains why she believes that it is the way that homogeneous groups protect their hold on institutional power.
