    The funniest example of white fragility I've ever encountered was when I was explaining the concept of white fragility to a white man (at his request) and he replied, "But why does it have to be called WHITE fragility? Why can't it just be called "fragility?""

    Forgive the detour from law & policy for a personal thread: Today I'm the grateful Mama of 1 year old twins. A yr ago, they had a 50% chance of survival. This morning they sat eating breakfast with their big brother & sister as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

    An honors program in my area used to admit 50% of students from each binary gender. When they moved to admission by test scores only, the next class was 76% girls. I think about that when white men claim someone only got hired for "diversity."
