It reads like a not terribly bright child, who was scrambling to get paper done and just flung together as munch nonsense as they could to make sure they meant the minimum requirements.

To be less arrogant and to be more humble are one and the same.  It's like saying "Be less tall" and "Be shorter".   

Who the hell approved this?

This isn't even getting to the obvious problems with it but I found it pretty damn comical.

You might like to peruse this review by John McWhorter, if you don't want to read Di Angelo's book.

McWhorter recognizes there is such a thing as "white fragility," and doesn't quibble much with the definition, but he
demonstrates very clearly the helter skelter nature of her presentation, even accusing her of 'racism'. 

You don't even have to read the whole review.  Just pick up a couple paragraphs halfway through and you get 
the flavor.  You've hit on something important with your 'be less tall' analogy. That list is impossible to decode and
therefore to apply in practice.
