They say, experience is the best teacher. If so, white people experiencing stereotyping for the first time may prove beneficial. As you say, stereotyping is a Kafka Trap - and white people don't know how to get out of the trap any more than black people do.

It will be a very, very long time before white skin does not trigger an automatic assumption, or question, of privileged racist in every American mind. White people will think it about white people they don't like. People of any other color, race or creed will also think it about white people they don't like. White people will try, but won't be able to stop wondering if other people think they are privileged racists.

Meanwhile, other people, including a handful of Medium writers, are leading the way out of this viscous trap (and I am following them). More and more readers are doing their homework, thinking about things deeply and producing some really good work and fresh ideas.

Penguin, the kind of work you are addressing here has already peaked, it is now so formulaic copycats are reproducing it in their sleep.

Unfortunately, talk is cheap. The people who change the world, are the people who DO something.
