This should be taught in EWRT 1B because to this day, students in college are afraid to take pride in their ethnicity or to show their sexuality in fear of being judged. Many students in society often get bullied because of their race. Reality shows that even some companies hire/terminate employees based on race, even when they are not allowed to discriminate.
