Last week I attended the “How to be an Antiracist” Book discussion. Due to the social justice movements currently going on in the United States, I was interested in learning more about the fight against racism. Although I have not read the book yet, this discussion definitely inspired me to begin doing so. Professor Bronfenbrenner brought up a lot of points of how racism still prevails in our society in ways I did not expect. For example, she shared her own experiences of watching her daughter be treated differently based on her heritage. This was extremely upsetting to hear, but it gave me more motivation to work against this issue. To become an antiracist is to not only accept and love the people around you, but it is also acknowledging privilege and allowing yourself to feel discomfort. Despite the pandemic making it harder for people to physically protest, feeling, learning, and talking about these seemingly “uncomfortable” topics can help you grow and become a more accepting person.
