Hey guys, so I told Zoe about this but since it came up a lot in class today I thought everyone might find these things helpful/interesting too... I've been following this girl's blog for awhile and she has a wealth of knowledge of everything that is wrong with society on terms of racism, and as white people a lot of us don't see it. None of us would probably call ourselves racist, but it's good to read up on how much mentality most people in america have towards white privilege and think about how you can respond to remedy that attitude. I have never really been aware of a lot of the things that she brings up, and even though sometimes I feel defensive or don't always agree when reading about it, it really is disgusting how many of these things are ignored! (And when she talks about it she covers white attitude toward every race- asian, hispanic, etc. and also about how culture appropriating is inappropriate.)

Her blog isn't strictly about this, it's just something she's passionate about and posts about a lot, but she answers questions from her followers sometimes that are really helpful too.
