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. https://padlet.com/janjolee/r7l3ayumlivbkyir/wish/1491032075 2021-05-04 18:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/r7l3ayumlivbkyir/wish/1491032075 https://padlet.com/janjolee/r7l3ayumlivbkyir/wish/1491033737 Growing up going to predominantly white institutions and getting frustrated at false curriculum ]]> 2021-05-04 18:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/r7l3ayumlivbkyir/wish/1491033737 Recknoning with my own internalized racism https://padlet.com/janjolee/r7l3ayumlivbkyir/wish/1491034679
