#540 - A Holiday for the Privileged

Let's Talk Native with John Kane

After the NYC Department of Education canceled Columbus Day and renamed it to Indigenous People's Day, white fragility was on full display when virtually every "Italian rights" organization across the state rallied to defend Christopher Columbus proclaiming him to be an Italian hero. White privilege and fragility is not always intentionally hurtful or offensive but racism can manifest in various ways.
