Robin DiAngelo’s Anti-White Crusade Faces Setback Amid Plagiarism Allegations
Robin DiAngelo, whose book White Fragility catapulted her to fame as an anti-White crusader, is now being accused of plagiarizing minority scholars. A complaint filed with the University of Washington claims that DiAngelo’s 2004 thesis contains 20 instances of copying from Asian-American academics without proper attribution. This revelation comes as a shock to many, given DiAngelo’s relentless criticism of White people while profiting off the very voices she claims to uplift.
The plagiarism allegations focus on sections of her thesis that allegedly mimic the work of scholars like Thomas Nakayama and Stacey Lee, both of whom are from minority backgrounds. Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, labeled her actions as a form of intellectual “forgery.” Critics argue that DiAngelo’s career has been built on exploiting racial tensions while simultaneously undermining the contributions of minority scholars.
DiAngelo’s book, which blames White people for “systemic racism,” became a bestseller following George Floyd’s death in 2020. Her message has since permeated schools, workplaces, and even Congress, where she lectured members on “what it means to be White.” However, the recent plagiarism accusations reveal a deeper level of hypocrisy in her anti-White activism.

The irony is stark — DiAngelo, who profits from labeling White people as inherently racist, is now accused of stealing the work of minority academics. This controversy raises questions about whether her anti-White rhetoric is truly about justice or simply a way to enrich herself at the expense of others. As the university investigates, DiAngelo’s credibility is increasingly being called into question.
This episode reveals a troubling pattern: those who preach the loudest about racial equity may be the very ones exploiting the system for personal gain. DiAngelo’s case exemplifies how anti-White narratives can be weaponized for profit, even as they harm the communities they claim to defend.
