Thanks for sharing this insightful “mish mash,” which I appreciate a lot for its insights. I’m especially interested in the third item about the financial benefits of being white but wonder if the ones listed by the author of the White Bonus might be more accurately attributed to class. I’m aware that whites are more likely to be in the class that has those benefits thanks to the history of structural racism. And yet it seems facile to make those advantages entirely about race. Still I look forward to checking out this book and thank you for making me aware of it.

Ha! I do too! My friend and I spent an inordinate amount of time watching those interesting creatures sleep then finally lumber around.
