The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are 'racist,' yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. 'If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist.' Yes, it can. 'There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs.' Incorrect. 'Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist.' Not true.In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies.
