Reflect on
and answer the following questions: Were the definitions in this section
consistent with your understanding of the types of racism? If not, how did they
differ?
Yes, I think the definitions of the different types of racism were consistent with my understanding.
How have you seen internalized racism reflected in your experiences? How does it show up in your school or community?
During the developmental period of emerging adulthood, black young adults, particularly those attending predominantly white secondary schools or universities may be at increased risk of experiencing race-related stress. Many areas of the educational system in the United States promote a Eurocentric pedagogical tradition, which serves to alienate students of different descent from the curriculum, consequently perpetuating internalized racism. These negative experiences also occur at a time when there is reduced parental involvement. Additionally, the developmental task of developing a healthy identity may be an area of increased stress for this population as they grapple with the significance and meaning of an identity that is commonly devalued in society and is often in direct conflict with the Eurocentric values.
