Are you a white person with questions about how race affects different situations, but you feel awkward, shy, or afraid to ask the people of colour in your life? Are you a racialized person who is tired of answering the same questions over and over? This book is for you: a basic guide for people learning about racial privilege. In Frequently Asked White Questions, Alex Khasnabish and Ajay Parasram answer ten of the most common questions asked of them by people seeking to understand how race structures our every day. Drawing from their lived experiences as well as live sessions of their monthly YouTube series Safe Space for White Questions, the authors offer concise, accessible answers to questions such as, โIs it possible to be racist against white people?โ or โShouldnโt everyone be treated equally?โ With humour and compassion, this book offers relatable advice and a practical entry point into conversations about race.
Reviews
โA gutsy, clear, compelling pep talk for the white anti-racist. The candour and focus on practice will reach many people.โ โ Ardath Whynacht, author of Insurgent Love
โThis book is a gift. In clear, accessible, thoughtful, and often hilarious prose the authors outline ten questions people tend to ask about race and racism. Ajay and Alex provide context, break down examples, and leave readersโespecially white readers like myselfโ with a clear set of steps for recognizing, addressing, and dismantling racism in their own lives and in their broader communities. I will use this book as a teaching text, give it as a gift, and keep a copy for my own resources.โ โ Erin Wunker, author of Notes from a Feminist Killjoy
