Summary Introduction

Introduction

Some white people claim to be color blind to race. While they may think that this is a productive way of communicating that they are not biased against people of color, this actually stops discussion of the racial inequalities of the system. Many white people are too fragile to admit they derive tacit benefits from institutional racism, and believe themselves incapable of being racist.
