She is an affiliate professor at the University of Washington – where she got her Ph.D. in 2004 – and works for Westfield State University teaching social subjects like multicultural education.

Key Insights from White Fragility

  • White Fragility emphasizes that many white individuals struggle to discuss racism due to the discomfort it generates, which can manifest in defensive reactions. This defensiveness serves to maintain racial inequality by preventing honest and productive conversations about race.
  • The book explores how systemic racism is often minimized or downplayed by white people, creating barriers to understanding and addressing the issue effectively. DiAngelo argues that acknowledging and addressing one's own racism is essential for authentic allyship and social change.
  • DiAngelo's concept of 'white fragility' highlights the unintended consequences of white people's comfort as they navigate discussions on race, often leading to silencing marginalized voices. By recognizing these dynamics, individuals can work towards more constructive engagement in conversations about race and diversity.
