The Right Kind of White
The Right Kind of White: A Memoir | Garrett Bucks
1 post | 1 read
A revelatory memoir that earnestly reckons with whiteness. As the product of progressive parents and a liberal upbringing, Garrett Bucks prided himself on the pursuit of being a good white person. The kind of white person who treats their privilege as a responsibility and not a burden; the kind of white person who people of color see as the peak example of racial allyship; the kind of white person who other white people might model their own aspirations of being better after. But its Bucks obsession with goodness that prevents him from building meaningful relationships, particularly those who look like him. The Right Kind of White charts Garretts intellectual and emotional odyssey in his pursuit of this ideal whiteness, the price of its admission, and the work hes doing to bridge the divide from those he once sought distance from.

This memoir just didn't do it for me - I wanted more of a deep-dive into race relations from a white-male perspective, but it was just autobiographical details from this dude who basically failed upwards. ⭐️⭐️
