When reading chapter 1 the thing I found most interesting was the abundance of people who argue that Egyptians were white. I’m more confused than I am surprised. This is typical of white people. Whenever the people of a region are savage,violent, and impoverished there is no doubt that they are black or brown. With that being said, when a civilization located in a predominantly black part of the world has brought forth advancements in geometry, architecture, art and science all of sudden…we’re not

People assume that white people aren’t victims of racial discrimination. Racial discrimination has been around for centuries. Unfortunately, it is still a part of our society. Racism is everywhere and is even the top stories in the news. The way I grew up increased my chance of racial discrimination. To explain, I have a multiracial family and some people don’t accept it. Also, I have friends of different races that often say disturbing comments. Stereotypes play a big role on how people view a

A Netflix TV show, Dear White People produced by Justin Simien, is about the students of Winchester University. This show tends to target not only the Netflix customers, but the black and white audience as well; the entire first season generally focuses on the media, racial, and gender roles within the community as well as the mainstream problem of the unrecognized white privilege by white skinned people.

“A Conversation With White People on Race” In a world where words and color have so much meaning and power, I’ve grown confused by the word “race” and the bizarre pigments it assigns. We’re called the human race, yet while we run together in the single race of life, we have split into teams: white, yellow, brown, black. My bewilderment fails to end there. Though his cheeks are ruddy and spotted with moles, my father is called white, and my mother, though pale as porcelain, is a yellow woman. As for

“White People” 1.What did you see, hear or notice in the video segments that resonated with you? For me it was a resonance that almost any phrase can be perceived as offensive. Each of us has some negative experience associated with skin color or nation, but it's very difficult to prove that you did not have anything bad in your words or actions, if the majority thinks that this is so. 2.What were the parts of the video segments that brought up feelings for you, such as shame, guilt, envy, anger

We live in a society where white people have the upper hand in almost every circumstance. It is hard for most if not all white people to understand and comprehend this because “privilege is hard to see for those who were born with access to power and resources” (Kendall 1).
