Abstract
HighlightsRace as a discussion topic is actively avoided or derailed by White students; women strategically use their gender to this end.There is societal deference toward the visible distress made by a White woman in public that is not afforded other racial groups.This knowledge is used strategically by White women with and without their conscious intent to decenter people of color and center themselves.
