For many, “discrimination” and “racism” are not partial truths but whole truths, not just things to oppose but explanations to cling to, like a security blanket.
One of the “proofs” Robin DiAngelo uses in “White Fragility” to show the existence of White Privilege is that when people of one race “passed” as people of another it was minorities “passing” as White.
While historically true, today we have many people, from Elizabeth Warren to Rachel Dolezal, who are white people passing as minorities.
Therefore she proves that “White Privilege” no longer exists.
