Social justice educator Robin DiAngelo's book, “White Fragility:
Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism”, is one of
a number of books on race topping bestseller lists as many people
seek to educate themselves amid protests against racism and racist
policing. In the book, she invites white people to examine their
role in upholding systemic racism and to confront the defensiveness
or "fragility" she says they can exhibit when challenged on their
ideas about race. We'll talk to DiAngelo about her book, the
ongoing protests and her thoughts on what white people can do to
address racism.
