A theme in the book is that you're a racist if you're born white. If you deny that you're racist, then you just prove that you're indeed a racist -- hence the white fragility. Let's look at China between 1949 and 1978. You would be Chinese version of Dalits if your parents or grandparents were landlords, farmers who owned property, counter-revolutionaries (whatever that is), bad influencers, rightist, or an intellectual. You would need to accept that you were born evil. If you denied that you were a bad guy, well, then you just proved that you were a worse person as you wouldn't even accept that you needed "transformation". Tens of thousands of people were exile to Gulag-like places and died there. Students in elementary schools could beat their principals to death for they were counter revolutionary. Millions people were striped their properties and basic rights. It was a scar cutting deep into generations of Chinese people. Oh by the way, you can attack anyone for being a "rightist", and you automatically became morally superior. Now, how is bullshit like white fragility different China's Five Black Categories in those dark years? Just replace "rightist" with "racist", and I can't tell the difference.
