(Derogatory) The belief that all white people are inherently evil, racist, monstrous, and inclined to genocide, and therefore they can't suck it up.
Believers in this idea don't stop to think that people are sick of this stereotype and that talking about race makes them uncomfortable despite being against racism. It has also contributed to ethnic tensions within society.
People can't think critically and shut up about white fragility.

The theory that whites are protected from ever hearing anything bad about white people somehow and so refusal to listen to how white people are bad is because they are fragile crybabies. According to the theory, societies like the US are very diligent in making sure whites aren't ever uncomfortable, talked negatively about, or removed from media, education, or elite positions.
Far from constantly hearing from every corner about how they are hated, oppressive, and needing to be removed and replaced in our media and society with more nonwhite people, whites are presumably completely unaware of any belief that they are bad and seldom encounter people who talk about that.
Example 1:
"Hey, I saw you opted out of the Diversity in Management seminar."
"Yeah, I need to get this project out and I'm really busy. Plus I already read the email summary and did the quiz."
"Figures you'd be really disgusting about it. I'm not even fucking shocked you have so much white fragility."
Example 2:
"Did you see X on the news last night? I can't believe how racist the police in this city are. It's disgusting."
"I don't watch the news."
"Fucking really? White men really are so soft. White fragility in this country is just ridiculous when you can't take half an hour every day to pay attention to POC suffering."

The "definition" is the state in which , when confronted about race expressing guilt anger or sadness, when you dont express it in the way the person talking about race wants. In translation this mean ANY responce that isint ok i understand or i will work or i agree is instantly labeled as white fragility there is no escape no arguing (because any argument will be used to further the douches narrative that its because your white fragility that you feel that way. No adult conversation no listening well except for the other person the other person requires you to listen but wont listen to you. Basically a trap made by assholes who cant debate you so they instantly call any difference in opinion or disagreement as being fragile. They will include in this how your inherent bias is the result of this even though theyre unable to realize that every single person on this planet has inheret biases they learn from their experiences they are to stupid to learn that those biases arent 1 out of hate but by experiences and 2 unable to be gotten rid of . Basically this term is meant to spring up gatcha moments because intolerence and gatchas is most likely the only thing the other person knows how to do. If you are caught in this trap either call them a self rightous douche or explain to them that even having these oh so totally progressing conversations of one sided battles of i want you to listen to me but wont listen to you and if you disagree your racist
1 hey dude
2 hey
2 you saw whats on the news lately
1 nah man dont really watch it

1 what ever you say man you act like anyone cant do what i do and just not watch it
2 they cant
1 they definitly can no one is forcing everyone to get so deepely into politics and the only reason people that get into politics get mad at people like us is because we dont have extreme ideals where our oh so perfect party cant do anything wrong and shitty media coverage
2 all i wanted to do was talk about race relations
1 well i dont really care for that topic
2 thats because of your white fragility
1 hm another term coined by a totally tolerant and accepting prick huh greeeeeeat cant wait to hear about this one
2 its known as a responce to a talk about race where the person hearing it responds in a way that is angry sad or guilty furthur proving fragility and inherit biases.
1 so basically anyone who disagrees with this idealogy you mean
2ummm
1. Yeah you all talk about stopping race relations but end up sucking ass at it everytime all you people propose is double standards and special treatment the good ol i cant be _ its only _ when it happens to _.

1. No not at all its because the social justice douche bags that say oh were so accepting are the same pricks that go your _ you cant have an opinion well maybe if your ancestors _ then you would be allowed to make that joke or your just plain out double standard.

A term coined by Robin DiAngelo, who describes the phenomenon as the following.
"White people in North America live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress, leading to what I refer to as White Fragility. White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium. This paper explicates the dynamics of White Fragility."
I tried to explain to Anne why confederate status are not a symbol of her heritage, but of white supremacy , but she had so much white fragility she wouldn't even let me finish talking.

Some bill-sh made up terminology/concept that narrates the reasons why an individual refuses to have a conversation about sensitive topics usually pertaining to race. Completely ignoring the very valid reason a person might choose not to bring up race in a conversation as they may actually have no bias at all so the thought of “what race is the person I’m talking too” never even crossed their mind.
Normal person 1: *walks past two people sitting on a bench*
Jerk Person 1: “Hey did you see that asian girl earlier?”
Normal Person 2: “You mean the young lady with sunglasses and a red dress…”
Jerk Person 1: “Yeah Asian girl. I know what you’re thinking so you can just say it.”
Normal Person 2: “Uhh actually, I have no clue what you’re talking about.”
Jerk Person 1: “Yeah you do, you just don’t want to talk about it because of your ‘white fragility.’”
Normal Person 2: “Whoa! That’s pretty racist of you. First off, no I didn’t notice nor do I care what race the person who walked by us is. Second you’re assuming I’m Caucasian because my skin is light colored. Not everyone who has light skin is Caucasian and not every Caucasian person is racist. I think that’s pretty ignorant of you to try to force that narrative on people when you don’t know them and judge them based only on what you see.”
Jerk Person 1: “Oh, I never thought of it that way.”
Normal Person 2: “Clearly.”

Look at the very bottom definition of white fragility. THAT is white fragility in all its disgusting, infectious “glory”. Basically when a white person calls others racist for silly jokes such as “white ppl can’t cook, lol”, but will respond to said jokes with “well, at least I’m not a cotton picking jungle bunny, spear chucking nigger”.
“Bro, did you hear this stupid ass nigga? He argued against the statement “black lives matter”, he clearly got a LOT of white fragility
