This piece has a lot of problems.

1. ignores intersectionality (the idea that people embody more than one kind identity at the same time) — being wealthy or famous does not exempt Teigen and Kondo from being targets of racism.
2. Ignores very simple questions like “why did she criticize Kondo and Teigen but not any white celebrities?” because the answer would, inconveniently, be racism
3. Engages very shallowly with the terms racism and antiracism, using cherry picked information to discredit anti-racist work
4. Incorrectly places the blame of microaggressions the author has experienced on “diversity” rather than where it really belongs, which is on white supremacy
5. Cites as “experts” people who have very little of value to contribute to the debate (a glaring example is John McWhorter, who is currently receiving a lot of criticism for wading into debates about racism and using his status as a well-known linguist to make claims about things way outside of his area of expertise; another is Thomas Chatterton Williams, who has embarrassed himself on matters of culture on multiple separate occasions in recent memory)
6. Misuses quotes by people who actually do have something useful to say about racism (e.g., Coates) by taking them out of context and hoping people just believe they serve the larger point he’s trying to make without thinking too hard

Ultimately the author’s understanding of white privilege and racism are so basic and off-base that I would hesitate to even recommend the extremely simplistic and condescending “White Fragility,” as I fear its contents would sail over his head. Unfortunate.
