He's not thoughtful. He's just pointing at everything he sees and crying "racism" or "misogyny." Diangelo might as well have not even written her book if one adopts Adder's positions. Why think about the issues in depth when you can just throw an accusation at every single chance you get?
Why bother writing a book that actually had the capacity to change some of my views, and I think would change a whole lot of white people's views (I have already recommended it to conservative friends most in need of its message)? If you don't need to make the case and you can, as Adder does, just accuse racism in regard to everything anybody says on the grounds its omnipresent, why bother to read DIangelo's careful and persuasive text?
Adder's a naif. He may be an ally, but not one I'd want.
