ABSOULTELY NO PLAGERISM
After reading Oluo, Ijeoma. So You Want to Talk About Race spend time constructing a two full page response paper (double spaced) that addresses the questions found below. You should note that your response papers should not merely answer each question in either bullets or numbered lists, but instead you should work on creating a response paper that addresses the questions, but also provides transitions from one answer to the next, while at the same time providing your own thoughts and commentary on the articles. It is important that your response paper reads like a paper and not like you are systematically answering the questions.
In Chapter 1, “Is it really about race?,” the author states: “It is about race if a person of color thinks it is about race. It is about race if it disproportionately or differently affects people of color. It is about race if it fits into a broader pattern of events that disproportionately or differently affect people of color.” After reading the author’s explanation of these points, can you think of social or political issues that many people currently believe are not about race, but actually may be? Which of the above guidelines for understanding when it is about race fit those issues?
The chapter about privilege is placed right before the chapter on intersectionality. The author has stated in interviews that she placed those chapters in that order because it is impossible to fully understand intersectionality without first comprehending privilege. How do the concepts discussed in the chapter “Why am I always being told to check my privilege?” help deepen your understanding of intersectionality and help implement intersectionality into your life?
In Chapter 12, “What are microaggressions?,” the author lists some of the racial microaggressions that her friends of color said that they often hear. What are some of the racial microaggressions that you have encountered or witnessed? What are some that you may have perpetrated on others?
The final chapter, “Talking is great, but what else can I do?,” discusses some actions you can take to battle systemic racism using the knowledge you’ve gained from this book and from your conversations on race. What are some actions you can take in your community, your schools, your workplace, and your local government? What are some local antiracism efforts in your community that you can join or support? Or detail and explain the antiracist movements you are already involved with.
