This book challenged me to check my own biases, even though I’m not white. It’s got to be exhausting to be antiracist 24x7, though I imagine it gets easier with practice. That said, I really appreciate that she and others go out of their ways to understand it’s more exhausting to be BIPoC on top of being a woman on top of being an immigrant on top of having to be socially mobile on top of being disabled on top of being LGBTQ (yes, I am all those identities). It was a relief to know people like this author exist and are actively working everyday to eradicate racism and to make the US a more equitable and egalitarian society, especially in today’s hyper hateful political environment.
