white fragility

(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.

White Fragility

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.”

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."
