The Real Effects Of Race And Racal Stereotypes

345 Words2 Pages
Talking about race is important because although it may scientifically just be a social construct it race ha real effects. Historically race and Racal stereotypes have been used to justify inequality, and mistreatment of entire communities of people, this is especially prevalent in America both historically and contemporarily. Coming from a place of privilege being considered white by society I personally don’t suffer from the effects of racism and ultimately and inadvertently benefit from it. Due to these facts it would be easy to ignore racism and avoid the race conversation altogether like many do by claiming a sense of “color-blindness” meaning that I don’t see (really don’t choose to acknowledge) racial differences between myself and others.
