What memory do you have of an incident when you experienced bias, prejudice, and/or oppression
Just recently i attended an outing with my family and a Caucasian girl was talking to my brother-in-law just having normal conversation, when his wife approached and asked what they were talking about. The Caucasian girl stated, this is my new friend, we are friends because i watch BET(Black entertainment Television) which is an actual tv show, which had nothing to do with there conversation, i felt very disrespected and confused.
In what way(s) did the specific bias, prejudice and/or oppression in that incident diminish equity?
That this Caucasian lady has to relate to other races by trying to relate to their social life.
What feelings did this incident bring up for you?
I felt ashamed, and i felt that the young lady had to associate tv shows or music to relate to the other race.
What and/or who would have to change in order to turn this incident into an opportunity for greater equity?
I would have change the ideas of the Caucasian girl and allow her to understand that all black individuals don;t listen to hip hop or rap or watch black tv shows.
