  ABSTRACT: This study explored the question, “How do white, college-student, social-justice allies describe their interactions and relationships with anti-inclusive family and friends?” Data revealed five key themes: regularly witnessing anti-inclusive interactions, regularly confronting anti-inclusion, regularly not confronting anti-inclusion, experiencing strained and lost relationships, and having parameters placed on them. Additionally, using critical whiteness as a theoretical framework, the results furthered our understanding of the phenomenon of whiteness, as well as uncovered several tenets of white supremacy manifested through the participants’ interactions and relationships: minimization of racism, white action and complacency, white privilege, and rules of whiteness.
