Should the United States be a color blind nation? Is it important to discuss concepts of privilege and prejudice? Note: The instructor should be prepared to discuss what color blind means perhaps by citing examples of people who state, “I don’t see race.”
·
Suggested
answers: The U.S. should
not be a color blind nation. People should recognize individuals’ ethnicity and
their own. Prejudice and privilege affect all of us in different ways. Having
discussions about these concepts when they occur can help the world respond and
work to end prejudice and privilege.
· If students don’t know what prejudice means, the instructor should be prepared to explain the concept to the class.
