Don't watch this video if you suffer from white fragility, or better yet, watch it and own your white fragility

We wish we had more context for this video; we see the bug for The Cut up in the corner, so we’re assuming it’s a product of theirs. We also don’t know where they found the people in the video and how much editing went on to produce the result they wanted to reach. If you work in a corporation, you might have been mandated by the diversity, equity, and inclusion department to attend a workshop based on Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility.” Whites are fragile people, but they need to step up and face their role in creating the systemically racist system in which we all live today.

Anyway, the video asks the simple question, “What are white people superior at?” It’s a bit of a loaded question to start with, but that’s the point, isn’t it?

This editor is white and is not sure if he’s supposed to feel bad after watching this.

Again, The Cut wouldn’t have released this video if it didn’t end up conveying what they wanted it to convey. You know it was probably some white liberal scrubbing through all the clips and editing them together.

Next, we want them to ask a bunch of university admissions officers what Asians are superior at and why they discriminate against them because of it.
