In this excerpt from The Dennis Prager Show, host Dennis Prager attacks anti‑racism author Robin DiAngelo, accusing her of plagiarizing work by ethnic‑minority scholars. He then dismantles the central claim of her book White Fragility, which he summarizes as: if you are white you are a racist, and denying it makes you "fragile." Prager sarcastically declares himself a white racist, likening his self‑identification to that of a porcupine, to illustrate the absurdity he sees in the book’s premise. The segment ends with a promotional plug directing listeners to sign up for full access to the show at pragertopia.com.

Anti-racism author accused of plagiarizing ethnic minority academics. Robin DiAngelo. Robin DiAngelo. If Robin DiAngelo is not a believer in God, I give up. She could look at her life. Me, who has nothing to say, has made millions of dollars from a book called White Fragility. By the way, you get the thesis of White Fragility, it is this: if you're white, you're a racist. And if you don't agree that you're a racist, you're a fragile white. Now I'm white and I'm a racist. So therefore I know that all other whites are racist. It has baffled me that people do not realize that whenever a white person gets up and says all whites are racist, they're talking about themselves. I am no more a racist than I am a porcupine. Okay? And I'm white, which is incidental to my self-perception. I don't look in the mirror and think, oh, a white man.
