Define the social construction of race and microaggressions. Think in terms of someone from another country
and provide an objective assessment of the pervasive nature of race and racism in the U.S.
Identify countries where race is not acute and people are not seen on the basis of phenotype. Why do you
think this is?
What is the purpose of racism as a social construct in the U.S.? Who benefits and who loses? How does this
relate to social, economic, and political realities.
What are microaggressions? What are some that you have heard, maybe even used? How can you grow from
this and move to the point of avoiding using them?
