The book demonstrates through numerous examples how racism manifests not only in extreme ideologies but also in daily life through microaggressions and unconscious biases, from questions about 'real' origin to racist stereotypes in media.

The book analyzes the historical roots and systematic inequalities that anchor racism in our societal structures, showing how People of Color face structural disadvantages in education, labor market, and justice system.

Eddo-Lodge emphasizes that overcoming racism cannot be solely the task of People of Color, calling on white people to reflect on their privileges, raise their voices against racism, and actively participate in creating a more just society.
