The shallow idea of inherent racism
Working with white people, including her white ally mother, the speaker observes that many feel white guilt, unable to separate themselves from the history of white people. They acknowledge unconscious bias and prejudice against people of color. However, the speaker is challenged on her belief that all white people are inherently racist, realizing she hadn't deeply examined these ideas. Leftism is enticing because it allows one to avoid deep inquiry and provides a cultish safeguard against defending those ideas.
