She wrote <em>So You Want to Talk About Race <\/em>as a handbook for people who want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-have-effective-conversations\/\">have productive conversations<\/a> about race in the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following <em>So You Want to Talk About Race<\/em> discussion questions and exercises will help you explore the key issues discussed in the book and consider how they play out in your own life. You can use these questions to inform a classroom or book club discussion and work through them on your own to better internalize Ijeoma&#8217;s message in <em>So You Want to Talk About Race<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise 1: Explore Intersectionality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine how intersectionality works in your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write down a list of all of the social descriptors you can think of that might apply to you (for example white, Hispanic, neurotypical, Hindu, thin, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which of these categories confer privilege? In what ways?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which confer disadvantage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you think of any ways in which these privileges and disadvantages change, compound, or offset each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise 2: Consider the Role of History in Current Oppression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think more about the role of racist history in today\u2019s patterns of inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical events and processes that you read about in this chapter are by no means exhaustive. Can you think of another racially charged historical event or situation that wasn\u2019t mentioned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What echoes of this event or situation can you still see today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise 3: Reflect on Microaggressions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine the belief structures hidden in microaggressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us have done things or made comments that we thought were innocent, only to find out later that they were offensive. Describe a time that this happened to you. (Perhaps the person on the receiving end let you know that the comment was inappropriate, or perhaps you only found out by reading this book or seeing information elsewhere.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identify the hidden belief structures embedded in that comment. What concrete effects do these same beliefs have in people\u2019s lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise 4: Think About Cultural Appropriation in Your Own Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Identify some ways in which you might be participating in cultural appropriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What activities do you participate in, items of clothing do you wear, and\/or music do you listen to that originated in a non-white culture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In what ways have you benefited (financially, socially, or otherwise) from these activities? In what ways have other whites benefited? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What might you do to offset the effects of this cultural appropriation? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise 5: Go Beyond the Conversation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about ways you can put your new understandings into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take action in the political, economic, educational, workplace, and personal spheres. Pick two of these categories and list some specific things you could do in these categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll need some more information before you implement at least some of these changes. How might you go about getting this information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From intersectionality and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/implicit-racism-racial-stereotypes\/\">implicit racism<\/a> to cultural appropriation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-institutional-racism\/\">systemic racism<\/a> in education, Ijeoma Oluo&#8217;s <em>So You Want To Talk About Race<\/em> has a wealth of discussion-worthy topics to talk about.
