#socl214 the concept of intersectionality was fresh and new to me when I learned in class. But I believe it is extremely important for day to day life to understand my own privilege and what others go through
It’s crazy when you compare the incarceration rates of our country and specifically black men. It shows that this is a country issue more than anything#SOCL214
#socl214 I was already aware of the systematic racism that suburbs and other housing bills were built off of. I was unaware of how much it affected other elements like school funding though.
Affirmative action helps those who have been disadvantaged and discriminated against in the past. Even though some claim this gives them an advantage #socl214
The lasting effect that the newspaper article had on Asians and Asian Americans is crazy. It was able to hurt Asians and bring down other minorities all at once #socl214
There are so many people who feel the anxiety and lack of self love just like those in the good hair bad hair video. It is nice people are starting to truly accept and love themselves now #socl214
I’ve already known misrepresentation has been an issue for black peoples in the Oscar’s but poc have dealt with this issue in almost any mainstream award show #socl214
Watching the video on intersectionality I saw how difficult it was to deal with discrimination if we only look at one component at a time and not taking in account others. #socl214
#socl214 I’ve already heard plenty of times how unfair the SATs were when compared to privilege and unprivileged children. It’s just crazy that we use it even though everyone agrees it’s not useful.
I learned from the video that the idea of race has always changed. For instance middle easterners being considered white yet coming from different nations and having different physical traits. While also not getting the same treatment #socl214
