With the same open-hearted generosity that has made his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation, and ?everse racism.?In his own words, he provides a space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the reader? curiosity-but along the way, he will galvanize all of us to join the antiracist fight.
