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."
