@Mharr131Emich I agree, the point of affirmative action is to promote fairness and the work place is a great example.

@MarcelC358 This was also my first time learning about this topic and never would have seen it as a negative thing until I saw the video.

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

It is crazy to think that being held to high or positive expectation can still be a stereotype and harmful to a race. #SOCL214

@GenyuanL I agree. The issue is when someone has a privilege from birth over some one else.

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

The way this video describes privilege is odd. Some privilege in the world is not fair. If someone has privilege because of something they have earned that shouldn’t be an issue. The issue is when people have privilege from birth because of gender, race, etc. #socl214

@Cole_Sarkon I just used the wrong there so we’ll see

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

The video explained how many people struggle with there hair and the way it makes them different from the ones they love or the ones they are commonly surrounded by. It is sad how people have to go through this everyday #socl214

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

@juliaiellis That’s horrible that they had to “fix” their hair. It is crazy the norms we set and how we make people feel like they have to change to fit in.

@NobuatAhmed This is a great point. The media can influence change people’s minds and portray things is so many different ways.

From the video I learned that there was a big push to involve black peoples in movies in the 1910s to 1930s. #socl214

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

@NobuatAhmed It is sad how these factors can add up so quickly and create so much issues in society. Great point

This is my first time really being introduced to intersectionality. I never realized how lots of times people will only identify one form of judgement such as racism or agism and not look at everything. #socl214

@JackSum53062391 This is very true and not hard to realize if you really look over the questions they ask about your personal information. It’s also funny how they have you put down the colleges you are interested in.

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

I remember answering these questions in the SAT and wondering what the point was. Then I answered the family household income question and it call kind of started to make sense to me. The race shouldn’t matter when taking this test. It’s a measure or education, not race #socl214

[Garrett Strang @strang7_]

@AliTahhan23 Yeah I found this same point very interesting. It’s crazy how easy it is to classify people.
