In my considered opinion, Robin di Angelo is basically a bully. Douglas Murray refers to her as "the Miss Whiplash of antiracism" in his recent book, The War on the West, which I'd recommend as a bracing corrective to her line of rhetoric.

I came away from reading White Fragility with the sense that it was basically Robin Di Angelo projecting her own attitudes about race onto everyone else. When you uniformly read mean-spirited racial prejudice into the minds of all others, it simply means that your own mind dwells in that mean-spirited framing of people not like you. This is why she couldn’t imagine any pathway to racial harmony.
