    first we exploited people for their resources, not according to how they looked. Exploitation came first, and then the ideology of unequal races to justify this exploitation followed.
  • Dasha Kashirinahas quoted4 years ago
    we are taught that to have a racial viewpoint is to be biased. Unfortunately, this belief protects our biases, because denying that we have them ensures that we won’t examine or change them.
  • Dasha Kashirinahas quoted4 years ago
    While implicit bias is always at play because all humans have bias, inequity can occur simply through homogeneity; if I am not aware of the barriers you face, then I won’t see them, much less be motivated to remove them. Nor will I be motivated to remove the barriers if they provide an advantage to which I feel entitled.
  • Машаhas quoted4 years ago
    whiteness goes even one better: it is a category of identity that is most useful when its very existence is denied.
