FIRST:  Take care of your needs!
THEN:

1. Read and complete activities for chapters 3-5 in This Book is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell

2. Use this Padlet to record big ideas, "Ah-ha's" or new vocabulary under corresponding chapter. (Did someone already post your idea? Like or comment to avoid redundancy)

3. Return to meeting space at designated time prepared to discuss the activities from chapters 3 and 5.

I realized in reading this chapter that I pay much less attention to my ethnicity than to my racial identity and my nationality. I lump these three things together in my own mind. I am happy to have more clarification in the terminology.

I think it's interesting how we often use words without knowing their true origins and meanings. For example, the text states that "mulatto," a term used to describe a person who is bi-racial (black and white) means mule. This implies that this mixed race person is essentially a new species which is offensive. I've used this term before not knowing this word's true meaning. It definitely made me pause and is a good lesson to be more knowledgeable about the language I'm using.

I thought the author's example of struggling with her hair as a teenager was very powerful. It is a reminder that young people are so vulnerable to ideas about beauty standards, conformity, etc. and so many of these ideas are linked to white European features.

Something that really stood out to me was the idea of how history is taught in schools. While basic history about the region is shared, and Native American history is touched upon, the idea of bringing in local indigenous tribes and/or community collaboration in this way, could be really powerful. Especially as a way to bridge the idea of colonization as "something from the past" and highlight the effects (often times devastating) it continues to have in the present.

It was very interesting reading the definitions and thinking about this from a personal perspective. Being adopted, I didn't know my ethnicity until 23&Me a couple summers ago. Race and Ethnicity has never been a forefront in my mind. I have always been "white" and nothing more. I wonder if students feel this way as well. Whether adopted or not.

I am white and have curly hair.  I had a former boss (also white) once comment in front of me that she always straightened her curly hair for work because she felt it was more professional.  I was personally offended at the time, but now I am thinking more about that moment and recognizing the implicit racism in that statement because if straight hair is “more professional”, then that is implying that all Black folx wearing their hair naturally curly hair is inherently unprofessional.

I think the Coates quotation is powerful in saying that "race" as an idea was created by racists to find a pseudo-scientific rationalization for their racism. How we use "race" in terms of human beings is much different from how we would use it in a biology class, I wonder why.

I am 39 years old and although I have been moving around to a variety of different places and countries where all ethnicities and different races were represented, we were not told to own our identities in school.  The video sat with me because the kids were so proud of who they were and where they came from but they were also aware of the bias and prejudice that comes with those identities.

The points about institutional racism are even more powerful when you think about the societal and long-term ramifications of that racism. In the video, most the students talked about how stereotypes led to prejudice and assumptions, negative for black and brown people, positive for white, and how much of this is caused by institutions.

I learned that skin color historically has a purpose. And it has nothing to do with value as a human being, just as hairy arms can protect against mosquito bites. I know this of course, but reading the chapter made it very easy to understand, and easy for me to articulate.

This reminded me that universities often do a good job at telling the other side of the story and offering classes such as Black Womyn's History, etc but we need to create text and video resources that do so also.

I have been called Mulatta many times and have not found it offensive.  I think you need to know yourself and who you are.  Knowing who you are comes from your home regardless of your socioeconomic background.

It made me really sad to read that the classification of people has been equated with the way that plants and animals are categorized (hair color, skin color, body hair, hair style, eyes, ears nose, sensitivity to sun, skin ton, etc. It is true disheartening, eye opening and scary.   There is a real serious need for education and progression.

I like how the chapters are divided into the personal sphere and the institutional level.  Both are interconnected, but institutional can change via the political process and direct action.  I think both are helpful, but it would be interesting for our students to really contemplate their own privilege and look at the racism here is Spain, instead of acting like it only exits in a vacuum.  From the Reconquista to now, I feel that many students have views that are awash in nationalistic pride while not fully understanding their global impact over centuries of oppression.
