Overall, this class forced me to look at things through a
difference lens. I never really paid
attention to all of the racial inequalities that still exist. I suppose that might have something to do
with being middle class and white (I’m Mexican too but it doesn’t look like I
am). Because I’ve never really
experienced racial inequality, I guess I don’t really see it that often. But this class has made me open my eyes to
what other races might face in their everyday lives.
What really interested me the most was the idea of
colorblind racism and naturalization because I never thought of racism as not
talking about race. However, as I’ve
learned in this class, not talking about it only makes it worse because that
means that nothing is being done to try to breakdown any racial barriers. All in all I’m really glad I took this class
because it forced to think about race and racism, which is something I never
fully thought about and discussed before.
