Robin DiAngelo's new book of that title https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0807074128/reasonmagazinea-20/ here's the blurb from amazon Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm Hardcover – June 29, 2021 by Robin DiAngelo (Author) Building on the groundwork laid in the New York Times bestseller White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo explores how a culture of niceness inadvertently promotes racism. In White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo explained how racism is a system into which all white people are socialized and challenged the belief that racism is a simple matter of good people versus bad. DiAngelo also made a provocative claim: white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of color. In Nice Racism, her follow-up work, she explains how they do so. Drawing on her background as a sociologist and over 25 years working as an anti-racist educator, she picks up where White Fragility left off and moves the conversation forward. Writing directly to white people as a white person, DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm. These patterns include: • rushing to prove that we are “not racist” • downplaying white advantage • romanticizing Black, Indigenous and other peoples of color (BIPOC) • pretending white segregation “just happens” • expecting BIPOC people to teach us about racism • carefulness • and feeling immobilized by shame. DiAngelo explains how spiritual white progressives seeking community by co-opting Indigenous and other groups’ rituals create separation, not connection. She challenges the ideology of individualism and explains why it is OK to generalize about white people, and she demonstrates how white people who experience other oppressions still benefit from systemic racism. Writing candidly about her own missteps and struggles, she models a path forward, encouraging white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage, lifelong commitment, and accountability. Nice Racism is an essential work for any white person who recognizes the existence of systemic racism and white supremacy and wants to take steps to align their values with their actual practice. BIPOC readers may also find the “insiders” perspective useful for navigating whiteness. Includes a study guide.

I don't know exactly what the author is talking about to be frank, but I do think a lot of progressives cover up their innate racial biases by verbally supporting a lot of causes for minorities so they never have to face their true feelings.
Human beings are tribal, so racism exists all the time if you get some tribe in the rain forest who's never seen asians or white people before they will group those 2 races as 2 races they won't think of them as 'outsiders', they would think of them as group white and group asian Like when you go to a certain part of town to a stripclub and realize all the strippers are the same race, you ask 'where are the latino strippers? or where are the asian strippers? why are the women's booties so big? @rocketsjudoka @Roc Paint 99ers think on a higher level than any humaniods
The left is racist. That's the truth I was getting at. It goes well beyond innate. They are literally and openly racist in how they approach minorities as victims with no agency.
Uh oh, that is racist according to the new racism rules. You cannot expect BIPOC to teach you about racism.
