Racism was a fact of life growing up in a country where race was a point of identification and categorization. The intent was not discrimination but I soon realized the judgmental nature of the categorization/stereotyping - which can then lead to discrimination. Awareness of this and grasping the extent of systemic racism after the BLM movement made me see that there is more going on.

Recognizing my part in the racist movement. It was easy to say that I don't do that "overt racist behaviour" and from there assume that I am not racist. But this past year has brought to light how much our inaction and inability to acknowledge our own white privilege supports the inequity and racism.
