White immunity builds off White privilege, and explores how Whiteness creates a type of social inoculation from racism for White people. Dr. Cabrera links the historical formation of Whiteness in the U.S. to contemporary times, ultimately calling for White people to develop greater racial empathy and responsibility. Nolan Cabrera is scholar of race and racism, specifically focusing on Whiteness in higher education. He has also been deeply involved in the Mexican American Studies controversy in Tucson Unified, recently serving as an expert statistician for the plaintiffs in the federal case. He was the only academic featured in the MTV documentary "White People." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
