DiAngelo's Racism and Specific Racial Groups

Please read the excerpt titled Racism and Specific Racial Groups from Robin DiAngelo's book, What Does it Mean to Be White?

Here are links to DiAngelo speaking about race.

As you read, look for both generalities and specifics of how to think about racial groups. As you read, please do these two items:



1.  Annotate or make a list of generalities that are important to keep in mind when examining ANY racial group.  

2.  And make a list of insights that you find interesting that apply to specific racial groups.

Additionally, you may find this website helpful.  Pamela Oliver, a professor from UW Madison has made a list of terms that explains the history and nature of racially-based terminology.

Her post is continually updated here.
