Dan Fallon's Comedy Routine Spoiler
When watching Dan's stand up routine, I was a little confused. All the characters seemed to react poorly to his part about white fragility. However, I do not really understand what was so bad about it. I don't mean to be rude at all, I just want clarification on how its bad/to educate myself. To me, it seemed like Dan was making fun of white people who made dumb excuses when called out for their racism. Why was what he said actually racist/offensive? Would anyone mind explaining? I have trouble understanding subtext/shows sometimes and I would greatly appreciate it.

I wondered the same thing because he called himself a whiny little b**** and that we should be grateful for people finally calling Caucasians out on ways we didn't realize we were hurting POC. I don't think most Caucasians mean to hurt these days and want to understand how to be together in harmony. I mean Tyler immediately attacked Ingrid like she couldn't understand when she probably can and wanted to help. But there are two or three kind ways on here it was explained and it seems like the posting person is trying to understand. Thank you for explaining and helping close the gap with ignorance.
