Space, Race, & Stereotypes

Hester Wheeler:

• Do we really see the experiences of minority people?
• When we don’t see the real experiences, we question the inability to assimilate/ accommodate
• Why is it so easy for white students in higher education to turn a blind eye?

Stephen Henderson:

• Idea of "Safe Space"
• We should be safe with each other, not safe from each other

Dear White People: 

Gabe: So, Sam, how would you feel if someone started a "Dear Black People"?

Sam White: No need. Mass media from Fox News to reality TV on VH1 makes it clear what white people think of us.

Linguistic Intergroup Bias:

• What behaviors are described when talking about an out group? 
• What do we hear on the news?
