Description

Itā€™s easy to say that racism is wrong. But itā€™s surprisingly hard to agree on what it is. Does a tired stereotype in your favorite movie make it racist? Does watching it anyway mean youā€™re racist? Even among like-minded friends, such discussions can quickly escalate to hurt feelings all aroundā€”and when they do, we lose valuable opportunities to fight racism.

Patricia Roberts-Miller is a scholar of rhetoricā€”the art of understanding misunderstandings. In Speaking of Race, she explains why the subject is a ā€œthird railā€ and how we can do better: We can acknowledge that, in a racist society, racism is not the sole provenance of ā€œbad people.ā€ We can focus on the harm it causes rather than the intent of offenders. And, when someone illuminates our own racist blind spots, we can take it not as a criticism, but as a kindnessā€”and an opportunity to learn and to become less racist ourselves.
