N1  - Preface -- Introduction -- We want you to see race -- We can enjoy Ed Sheeran, BTS, and Cardi B -- Certain things are racist, even if you don't know it -- You could at least try to pronounce my name correctly -- This isn't a fad: this is my culture -- So your friend is racist. What should you do? -- No. You can't. No. You shouldn't. And don't ask that -- No, I didn't get here by Affirmative Action (and if I did, so what?) -- Let's not do oppression olympics -- We don't care what your black, brown, or Asian friend said was okay (F.U.B.U.) -- In the end: we don't need allies: we need accomplices -- An encyclopedia of racism -- People and things to know -- The black friend playlist
