DiversityInc: "What Not to Say to White Colleagues"

Interview from NPR's Tell Me More with Luke Visconti, of DiversityInc magazine. 

I've found it's difficult to find an intelligent discussion of whiteness within the greater Quest For Diversity conversation. The two common positions are "I'm sorry for being white, how else can I apologize" or paranoid rantings of "do you want one dating YOUR DAUGHTER?!" (Looking at you, P. Buchanan.)  Visconti has a great line about living with privilege and working to ensure others get to enjoy the same privilege because your privilege never goes away; sharing it doesn't mean you get less, just that others get more. Anyway, enjoy the interview.
