As technology continues to advance, it will become more common. It perpetuates the idea of superiority and as discussed in class, it's important to discuss where it comes from. It comes from a history of racism and it thus upholds the idea of white being what is normal. Who should decide what is normal and what is better? ]]> 2019-11-12 17:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/majewskidana/orkzkp6jp1xr/wish/410120489
