White fragility, a common response of white people to calls to engage in conversations about racism and address their complicity with it, has received considerable scholarly attention. Much less attention has been given to the antidote: white stamina. This paper explores the development of stamina in the journey of ‘recovery’ from racism of one white settler individual who has become a public figure in Aotearoa New Zealand, in part through his declaration that he is a ‘recovering racist’. Significantly, the racism at the heart of this person’s story was directed towards indigenous, Māori New Zealanders; racism and settler colonialism are intertwined in this case. Consequently, the paper also responds to Lawrence and Dua’s (2005) call to ‘decolonise antiracism’ by foregrounding the indigenous–settler relationship in the analysis of racism within a settler society. The paper teases out overlaps and differences between white racism and settler colonialism, and between white stamina and settler stamina. Finally, I argue that there may be things for antiracists to learn from struggles to decolonise settler colonialism. Most significantly, this analysis points to the importance and power of the existence of an aspirational positive identity and position for ‘recovering racists’.

白人的脆弱性是白人对参与种族主义对话并解决他们与之共谋的呼吁的共同反应，已受到相当多的学术关注。对解毒剂的关注要少得多：白色的耐力。本文探讨了一名已成为新西兰公众人物的白人定居者从种族主义中“恢复”过程中耐力的发展，部分原因是他宣称自己是“恢复中的种族主义者”。值得注意的是，这个人故事核心的种族主义是针对土著毛利新西兰人的；在这种情况下，种族主义和定居者殖民主义交织在一起。所以，该论文还响应了 Lawrence 和 Dua (2005) 对“非殖民化反种族主义”的呼吁，在定居者社会中的种族主义分析中突出了土著与定居者的关系。这篇论文梳理了白人种族主义和定居者殖民主义之间、白人耐力和定居者耐力之间的重叠和差异。最后，我认为反种族主义者可能会从非殖民化定居者殖民主义的斗争中学到一些东西。最重要的是，这一分析指出了存在抱负的积极身份和立场对于“恢复种族主义者”的重要性和力量。我认为，反种族主义者可能会从非殖民化定居者殖民主义的斗争中学到一些东西。最重要的是，这一分析指出了存在抱负的积极身份和立场对于“恢复种族主义者”的重要性和力量。我认为，反种族主义者可能会从非殖民化定居者殖民主义的斗争中学到一些东西。最重要的是，这一分析指出了存在抱负的积极身份和立场对于“恢复种族主义者”的重要性和力量。
