Identify a place or situation in which you are a visible minority.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY , DO NOT PLAIGARIZE, I WILL CHECK THE PAPER, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEAS E LET ME KNOW! FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME AT ANY GIVEN TIME THANK YOU !

Given the right social conditions, anyone can be either part of the
majority or the minority. Your task this unit is to experience what it
is like to be a minority. Think of all the different visible social
groups to which you belong: gender, race and lifestyle are the most
obvious categories, but there are others (such as “hippy” versus “biker”
versus “preppy”).

Identify a place or situation in which you are a visible minority;
for example a man in a lingerie store or day spa, or a woman at a
classic car show or free weight room of the gym. Use your imagination!
Identify a situation in which you are definitely out of place and
everyone will know it. Once you have selected a situation, spend at
least 30 minutes as a minority in that environment. Unless
you feel you regularly experience being a minority and can clearly
explain one of those experiences, please don’t just imagine one from the
past but actually seek out a new situation where you will have the full
experience of being treated like and responded to as a minority. If
you’ve had the unfairness of experiencing that a lot in your life then
please describe that in detail to help educate the rest of your
classmates who have not had that experience.

Reflect on your experience. How did you feel? How did others react to
you? What stereotypes exist concerning your minority group? Did you
experience prejudice or discrimination? To what extent did your
experience reflect the research concerning stereotypes, prejudice and
discrimination?
