Essential knowledge on age, gender, social classes, and racial identities is greatly contributed by listening to music and reading books. White Fragility is a book I would opt for describing social classes and all discriminative life identities. The book has an exclusive exploration attempt on the counterproductive reactions the white people create when their assumptions about race have struggled down and how racial inequalities are maintained through their reactions. The author of the book, Eric Dyson, an antiracist educator, deftly illuminates the incidence of the whites' fragility and gives the book's readers a room to understand social classes and identities as an unrestricted practice to bad people. White fragility such as argumentation, silence, anger, guilt, and fear characterizes these challenges arising from racial discrimination (Frey et al., 2020). These behaviors have a huge contribution to reinstating the racial equilibrium of the whites and therefore counter any staged cross-racial dialogue.

The intersection between sexuality, social classes, gender, or race gives rise to social inequalities, leading to diverse identities in society. The challenges coming along with these identities are different at different life stages and ages. Readers of the White Fragility are given room to have a clear understanding, analysis, and evaluation of their rights, giving knowledge on how to avoid discrimination.
