Diversity Assignment I interviewed a White Caucasian female who was raised as a Catholic. She is a very friendly and a very nice person. From the interview I learnt how wonderful of a person she is. I also learnt about her family values, her culture, and the way she was raised.
Education in her family is a very big deal. Even though her parents didn’t go to college, they always made sure that their daughter went to college. Her dad works at an oil-harvesting site and her mom is a supervisor for coding and billing at a very famous university. There are no separate or special roles for males and females in her family.

She believes that deep within all people are same and equal and, thus, should be treated equally. She believes that just because that person is the only one they do not represent the whole race or religion or the social group. The same way as one white person does not represent the whole white race. In the book White Privilege, Peggy McIntosh (1999) thinks the same and gives an example,“ As a white person, I am able to swear, dress in secondhand clothes, or not answer e-mails without having members of her race or other races attribute these behaviors to bad morals, poverty, or computer illiteracy” (p. 79). Thus, we should not judge every other from the same race or religion from one good or bad experience that they had. She thinks that racism and prejudice in this world can be eliminated through
