So You Want to Talk about Race

Really, should be required reading for white people, especially those of us looking for scripts or suggestions for how to explain to other white people that “reverse racism” isn't a thing, for example–the writing is very clear and straightforward. If you've read Ijeomoa Oluo's other writings, or the writings of other black women, some of this might be familiar retreads, but it's a really useful and clear compendium.

(BTW I'm not saying that POC shouldn't read this book or wouldn't find the suggested phrasings here useful–I suspect reading this would be very validating! I'm just saying...white people should definitely read it.)
