"White denial," as I think Tim Wise has aptly labeled it (and so many other manifestations of it). <br /><br />It seems to be a fundamental component of collective (middle-class?) white psychology now -- to doubt claims of racism, especially these postracial days. There's often a certain condescension in that doubt too -- which in itself is ironically racist. <br /><br />At any rate, thanks for this post, and for the informative links in it!
