THINK BACK TO THE SUMMER OF 2020. Months into an international pandemic lockdown, with the promise of vaccines still off on the horizon, we lived stratified, isolated lives. So-called “essential workers” shouldered the brunt of the risk while others were lucky enough to continue working from home. On May 28, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control announced that the U.S. Covid-19 death toll had surpassed 100,000 people.
Magazine Issue: April 4, 2023
How old should you be before you read Ibram X. Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, or any of the other imposters of critical race theory? This sounds as inviting as “What is the preferable age to get cancer?” or “Which is the best way to crash a plane?”, but it is not the same. Those questions have empirical answers: as late as possible, so the cells multiply slowly, and with a slow belly flop, not a nose-dive.

What Is White Fragility?
What Is White Fragility? White fragility refers to a broad range of responses—often in the form of guilt, excuses, dismissal, or anger—white people may have in reaction to discussions on racism. The term "white fragility" was popularized by sociologist and author Robin DiAngelo in her book, "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism." In her book, DiAngelo focuses on white fragility as a response to racism against Black people. What Does White Fragility Look Like?
To Own Whiteness
At school, I would sometimes be approached in the playground by children I didn’t know. I must have been about seven or eight. Appearing in front of me, they would call me racist names. Then they wandered away. I don’t remember being distressed by these incidents. Sometimes, though, children came over to tell me that they weren’t racist. They knew that racism existed; they even told me about the racist things that other people said.

The Production of Whiteness in Education: Asian International Students in a College Classroom
by Robin J. DiAngelo - 2006 This study uses a poststructural analysis to explicate the social production of Whiteness in a college classroom. Whiteness scholars define Whiteness as reference to a set of locations that are historically, socially, politically, and culturally produced, and intrinsically linked to relations of domination. Using this framework of social production, I analyze a graduate-level college classroom for evidence of Whiteness.

I'm a producer for the One Broke Actress podcast, and in a recent episode I brought up #StopAsianHate and my feelings as a half-Filipino woman in the entertainment industry.

8 of the Best Anti-racist Books to Help You Dig Deeper
Systemic racism has become almost instinctual, and radical unlearning would need a lot of knowledge and self-awareness.

Reading has always been central to any positive change our world has witnessed since the beginning of civilization.

Bestselling Author Robin DiAngelo Actively Supports Black-owned Bookstores
Over the years I’ve asked many authors, whose work I've been extremely supportive of, through book sales and promotion, to provide a link to AALBC, or any Black-owned bookseller's site, as an option for visitors to buy their books. This simple action does not typically occur to most authors, and certainly to no publisher. Usually when I ask an author to add a buy link to AALBC, they do it, and express embarrassment for not doing it sooner.
