...Yeah. Non white also treats whiteness as a race.<br /><br />After three weeks of grad school I am realizing the importance of LOOKING at whiteness AS a race and not, as the norm or some that is neutral, which is what these circles tend to do, unfortunately.Model Minorityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364810029145290617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-55648099356793785522009-09-21T02:24:44.043-04:002009-09-21T02:24:44.043-04:00So many "colors" to distinguish, from na...So many "colors" to distinguish, from native americans to Indians, Pakistanis, North Africans, and all those women who are multiracial (I'm thinking of Blacks who are also Latino from Cuba, Brasil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, etc). I really hate the term "non-white". It implies an otherness that narrows.Piamonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901920044747647355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-12790994123449128472009-08-27T20:53:13.265-04:002009-08-27T20:53:13.265-04:00haha.
