Is there a definition of what it means to be white (or any other color for that matter)?

EDIT: to the down voters - this is a serious question. First we need to know what DiAngelo means with being white.

The statement 'be less white' implies that all white learners of her course exhibit some negative traits.

What are those negative aspects?

How else can you change if you don't know what you're doing wrong in her eyes?

One of the big problems with this entire conversation is the definition of terms. The word “white” has been defined hundreds of ways within the “woke” literature and multicultural academics - some of them having no connection to skin color. The nuance and depth of thought that has gone into these academic discussions is elided and you end up with “be less white” which is clearly and obviously inflammatory to a whole host of people. That nobody ever defines terms clearly causes everyone to talk past each other and the conversation becomes immediately divisive and counterproductive. There is a real conversation to be had here - but we’re not having it.
