I completely agree. Terms like "white fragility" and "whiteness" are divisive and racist and racial discourse would be much better and more productive without them. But I can't criticise them without using them 😅

A few other readers got triggered too. I never imagined that things had gotten so bad that just seeing the word on a page would shut down people's thinking. But I do understand the frustration.

I highly recommend just muting the more racist writers. They aren't going to say anything valuable and they're not aiming to improve life for anybody, black or white. They just want to spew their hatred and insecurity into the world.
