White Women are the Villains, Actually
Fiction stories where white women use and abuse people of color and other marginalized people. Thank you @chris for pointing out what a great list this would make!

such a great list! as a white woman we really do suck
This list!!! Omg I immediately scrolled to make sure Model Home was on here đ and it was đŤŠđ

Haha of course! Itâs perfect for this list!
Yours for the taking by Gabrielle Korn definitely fits. One of the plotlines is a white female billionaire building a woman-only vault to protect herself from the apocalypse. It backfires as well as you'd expect. TW for reproductive violence. Although I don't remember race of women she abused. Still a great book.

Thanks so much! Iâll add that one!
Sheer by Vanessa Lawrence would be a perfect fit for this list. It's a rare depiction of racist abuse perpetrated by a white lesbian
kitsulliOP
Oooh that sounds perfect! Thank you!
in case you're looking for suggestions, i think fireheart tiger by aliette de bodard would be a great candidate for this list.
kitsulliOP
Oooh thank you! Iâm always open to suggestions!
freaking AMAZING list
Love this list! Idk if you want nonfiction, but Ruby Hamad's White Tears / Brown Scars is chef's kiss!

Thanks for the rec! I was debating about adding nonfiction or not, but am keeping it to fiction for now. @leylines women and white power in the United States has nonfiction covered pretty well, including white tears/brown scars, so I wanted to avoid a list that copy and pasted a lot of the same books! đ¤Ł
oh what a great list!!
