David made me mad to no end. He was ignorant and rude and wouldn't listen to any of Victors struggles or ideas. My heart ached for Victor and wanted to help.

whites experiences are never changed by blacks the way black lives are changed by whites

I found it interesting that all of the men there identified as (blank)-american such as mexican-american, chinese-american, or even one of the white men said euro-am

Is American an optional ethnicity if some are claiming to be while others choose not to be?

when we talk about what is our nationality is where we are born or what are culture is?

I think that this is the same as "The Veil" because these people needs to identify themselves as white and, at the same time, they need to identify themselves based on their ethnicity.

White people are the one that society benefits and POC are seen as an "other." What can be done to change the fact that the white culture is dominant? It is essentially everywhere on earth. How can we change it without compromising

I thought it was kinda interesting to think about the lack of ethnic feeling a white american has and in that sense less community in an ethnic culture but rather jsut community as a white person

I liked this because it was a sort of wake-up call for white people to understand their role in society and how they really need to check their privilege and need to become more self-aware on racism

I think gordon(?) didn't want to talk during the time because he felt like he didn't have anything to add. he knew he didn't experiences racism like the POC in the group did, and felt like their experiences were totally valid, so he didn't want to argue with them like david was.

I thought this video allowed viewers to look into the minds of men of different ethnicity. It was extremely frustrating to see how all of the men were kind of creating an intervention for David, yet nothing really got through to him. Intially, David said how he grew up with people of all different races and that he is super accepting- but I think this paints a picture of today's society and how people are so blind to the prejudice they have.

I enjoyed the video on The Color of Fear, I really like the part where David Lee was sharing why he really only identifies as an American because he grew up with the American culture, received all of his education in the U.S and works here now. He also does this to make a point towards White Supremacists, because he feels like if we are living the same life other than the color of our skin than why can't

# data[].attributes.body
I kinda feel bad for david and his really tough time understanding his own place as a white man

# data[].attributes.body
- I think that everyone in the group was categorizing each other based on extremists within their race.
- There was a clear double standard when David was scolded for using "you" to describe race, but Victor continued to refer to "you white folk"
- If race is disconnected from ethnicity, can't a black person be, for example, German? If so, why can't people of any race be "American"?
- What I did not hear a lot of in the video was "what should be done"- they did not discuss solutions that each person could work on

# data[].attributes.body
perfect representation of optional ethnicity. Victor mentioned he will always be black but David chose to leave his ancestors ethnicity behind.

# data[].attributes.body
As we started to watch this video it seemed to be more of an open discussion. Soon we see more of some true colors come about as David starts talking about employing Mexican field workers and that makes him somehow a better less rascal man. He was very ignorant and frankly disheartening considering how many white males are out there that have this fixed mindset that the world is theres.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting how white people don't even understand their own perspective. David didn't seem to get where everyone else was coming from. I think this shows that whites have more choices in the way that they think than people of racial minorities do.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting how David was unable to understand the concept of racism. He was unable to understand how Victor's experiences were affected by his race.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it really interesting how Victor mentioned how black people always have to deal with white, whereas whites never have to deal with blacks. I never really thought about that. SO much of society is white and since I'm white, I never really acknowledged that. It was just really eye-opening to see how my reality that I take for granted is entirely different for those of color.

# data[].attributes.body
the david’s in the world who refuse to acknowledge that racism is happening everyday around them are the ones holding us back from being able to move forward with this issue as a nation (specifically the USA)

A quote that stuck out to me was when Victor said "human, white, and American all become synonyms".

# data[].attributes.body
that being white is equal to  being a human being

# data[].attributes.body
I thought a very interesting point that was brought up was the fact that white people deny the fact that they are superior and think that everyone is capable of being equal but the non-whites just haven't worked hard enough or they haven't been able to overcome the "barrier".

# data[].attributes.body
It surprised me that some white people are so out of touch that they don't comprehend the struggles for other people. It's upsetting that people think they aren't a source of the problem and that in itself is the base of the problem. That's why we can't fix it.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting when Victor said that to be white is to say that your standing on your own ground when you're really standing on someone else

David (white) has such hope for humans, so much so that he doesn't believe that racism could be real. This is a hope that we all have, but hopefully we all know that it is not the case, at all. The way to solve racism isn't to completely ignore it, but to recognize it, and shape our understanding around others experiences.
