Luvell Anderson writes “Whiteness Is the Greatest Racial Fraud”

Luvell Anderson, associate professor of philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences, wrote commentary in the Boston Review titled “Whiteness Is the Greatest Racial Fraud.” Anderson, who studies the philosophy of race, uses the piece to discuss the concept of racial fraud and how people must pay attention to both the obvious and subtle forms of this act. “The subtlest version of racial fraud—the fraud of whiteness itself—is the one we should be most concerned about, for it is by far the most destructive to our polity,” writes Anderson.
