Intergroup Perspectives 1. Colour Blindness |
- emphasis should NOT be placed on race and/or ethnicity
-When we see the world we see box of crayons with beautiful colours, except with colour blindness we don't often see the gorgeousness- we see some colours ugly and pick certain colours over others |
|
|
CB states that |
- we should be drawing attention away from race and ethnicity- it is the fact that we focus on it so much which is why we have discrimination and racism - instead let us not see race, let us not see ethnicity - let us see people in terms of meritocracy- war people on what they achieve. Choose the picture of the pencils being the same |
|
|
Affirmative Action |
- which is FOCUSING on race.
" we don't have a lot of purple people working here, so we should get some more to make it more diverse" - colour blindness says because you do this affirmative action the green people hate the purple people even more" |
|
|
How do we DO colour blindness |
video- colour black heart over the coloured heart " it takes an open mind to be colour blind" -don't just base people on their colour- in order to not judge people based on colour you need to be open minded and go beyond the stereotype |
|
|
Problem with the Video |
-Why did they need to pick the colour black to colour over everyone's different colours - why can't we just appreciate people for being different and accept it - elimination of differences when you make us all one colour - can you be open minded by being both colour blind and not colour blind - you can SEE other people and accept that they are a different colour than you are, but still treat them the same -in order to be colour blind you have have to obliterate history basically- see everyone the exact same, nobody would be unique at all and all or any privilege you have would be stripped |
|
|
Advantages of CB |
- we would end racism, we would no longer see people based ornate - we would all be equal in everybody's eyes |
|
|
Disadvantages of CB |
- if we're no longer focusing on race/ethnicity we would pick and segregate based on some other variable- gender, height -obliterates difference between people- you will no longer be unique at all - doesn't allow for agency towards groups. you're no longer going to get any resources or benefits - colour blind racism |
|
|
2. Critical Race Theory |
-emphasis should be placed on race/ethnicity -critical examination of society and culture as it intersects with race/ethnicity - tearing apart educational structures to look at how it discriminates - how down draw attention to certain groups and therefore not allow them certain access - DRAW the attention to the prejudice and BE critical in the moment |
|
|
CRT Methodology 1. Microaggressions |
-subtle, and maybe unintentional forms of racism - can be behavioural or through language EG. Bonilla- Silva Chapter "they're such a colourful people you know" "i think it's great that you were hired- we need more diversity here" |
|
|
Microaggressions Cont'd |
-things that illustrate that there are racial divides and prejudices that may exist in our society - take a moment and reflect on why we say them - could come across as being a compliment but questioning your worth and how good you are - do NOT need to be intentional - " I have a ton of _____ friend, so i'm not racist" |
|
|
When is it a Microaggression and when is it an innocent question or statement |
- are they asking because they are actually curious or do they have racist undertones - doesn't matter if it's not intentional, it could be unconscious behaviour too - doesn't matter that it's innocent or not- but the harm that it does to the individual who it was made to is much more important |
|
|
CRT and MICROA |
- when we experience or witness these micro aggressions in our daily lives we need to deconstruct them and not let people just say them and ge away with them - deconstruct the comments even if they are uncomfortable, - doesn't matter if the person meant it unintentionally- still deconstruct it |
|
|
CRT methodology 2. Counter Narrative and Counter Stories |
- stories of those whose voices are not often told -stories of experiences that do not complement the dominant discourse regarding race and ethnicity in society - therefore, stories that CHALLENGE the common stereotype that people hold - GO against the common stereotype the narrative that is not true "the drunken aboriginal" |
|
|
Eg. of a "stereotype" we hold of a radicalized group? what would be a counter- narrative" |
- Black people are lazy- profiting off the system- then seeing the amount of successful black people there are doctors, lawyers - expectation that the black guy is playing football and the white guy playing hockey- actually vice versa -very ACTIVE approach- doing this everyday and breaking down micro aggressions |
|
|
Advantages and Challenges of CRT |
Adv: - Being aware of what your own stereotypes are- forces you to pat attention to what you say to others and how you talk in your day to day life - re-socialize and re think your words DIS: - sometimes it can cripple you- you can become paralyzed to speak. how will people respond to you if you make that joke. when do you stop - demands a lot and we're not always ready for it |
|
|
Critical Race Theory vs Colour blindness |
-know the differences between the two and who they challenge each other |
|
|
Whiteness Studies |
- emphasis should not just be on "people of colour" -in response to the idea that the world was white- we're looking and focusing on colour -default setting was white- actually thats not the world there is the world and then there is what is whiteness in relation to everything else - people of colour means there there are people and there are people of colour. whiteness studies said NO- there's just people.. period |
|
|
How do we Deconstruct "Whiteness" |
-white privilege, white fragility - you have this group thats called "white"- what does it represent and who do we group in this category -Caucasian is like negro- yet we have eliminated that term yet we continue to use caucasian - could be an alternative to "white" also sounds quite scientific |
|
|
Two terms to stop using |
1. African American 2. Caucasian |
|
|
Advantages and Challenges of Whiteness Studies |
ADV: - its uncomfortable but its important- the problem is not with the just coloured people and other people - but deconstruct all members of society including white people DIS: - its new and very uncomfortable, people have a hard time to understand- sounds like its reinforcing privilege, it's actually about deconstructing privilege. |
