THE DOCTOR IS IN. Hypocrite hector: Anthony Daniels (aka the Good Dr. Theodore Dalrymple) takes a chain saw to White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo and How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.

Perhaps the most interesting question raised by these books is why, when they are so badly written, self-indulgent, and intellectually nugatory, when they are so plainly written in the spirit of what Karl Popper called reinforced dogmatism, they should be so popular among the Western intelligentsia. Let us hope that this is not a question for an Edward Gibbon of the next millennium to answer.

Definitely read the whole thing.
