This logical trap is the same one favored by witch-dunkers in the Middle Ages: if the woman drowns, she is innocent; if she floats, she is a witch and can be burned. In DiAngelo’s logic, the person who denies that they are racist is racist, and so is the person who says they are racist. Meaning that the best thing to do in any given situation is for a person to save time and confess to being a racist.
