  • Were the definitions in this section consistent with your understanding of the types of racism? If not, how did they differ? 
    • The structural racism definition really made sense and is very similar to what I've seen before, also it connects to the video I watched in option 2 in the stretch your thinking section. 
    • Institutional Racism also explains why the "Kevin" had more support and outcomes than "Jamal" 
  • How have you seen internalized racism reflected in your experiences? How does it show up in your school or community? 
    • To get a better understanding I read this article: https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1777&context=student_scholarship
      • This article helped be better understand what internalized racism means and how it affects kids and is in schools. 
      • The article talks about how kids don't value books and texts as much if they only see white characters and people as the main aspects of the text. I think there has been a change in  recent years choosing books that better represent our schools diverse populations.
      • before multicultural crayons students had to choose the "closest match: often that color wasn't a close match at all so sometimes I saw kids choose not to color in the body part at all.
