I have some friends on LJ from whom I have learnt a lot about racism over the past few years and I absolutely agree, it's mostly down to shutting up and listening. And being aware that your scintillating insight has probably been raised many times before and the person you are talking to is sick of answering the same dumb questions.
I know I do a lot less well at dealing with racism irl - I live in an almost all-white bubble and so can conveniently ignore my own privilege a lot of the time.
Surely the cake thing is more of a practice than a theory? I'm pretty sure I have sufficient experience of cake-eating to consider myself well-practiced in that area :-)
