I found this book to be incredibly helpful in addressing my own racism. The purpose is for you to look inward and acknowledge parts of yourself that you might rather pretend don't exist. We do live in a racist society and it's important to recognize our own part in that, and this book does a great job at that.

Some parts of this did feel repetitive. Perhaps that was her intent, repetition to drive the point home, but there were some things she kept coming back to and lines that were repeated two or three times.

Mostly, I wish it had been more researched and detailed. DiAngelo introduced a lot of important ideas and brought up great topics, but just touched on the briefly. Or she'd make a sweeping statement (that I fully believe to be true), but not go into the research behind that statement. I just wish there had been a lot more because I feel like it would have made this book stronger.

But the general ideas and the way she pointed out racist behaviors was incredibly helpful. I think it's very important to call yourself out and this is a good book on my continuing antiracism education. Would definitely recommend.
