Many white people focus more on protecting and excusing their implicit biases which align with white supremacy & the erasure of alternative cultural histories (i.e, viewing Europe or US as the pinnacle of modernity & progress, cultural appropriation, microaggressive behaviour, etc), and distance themselves from how they benefit & unknowingly contribute to racism. bias against POC, black people particularly, is pervasive across all cultures. The accusation is more upsetting to many white people, than the act of racism, since most people care more about how right they look and sound. White priviledge means white people often gain access to more resources than POC, and many have a bias towards supporting and understanding white poeple more so than POC. People must be prepared, white ppl and POC alike, to unpack any implicit bias and microaggressive behaviour they may accidentally engage in. Either you are anti-racist or you run a high risk of being complicit in racism.
