In addition, reproductive justice demands sexual autonomy and gender freedom for every human being. The problem is not defining reproductive justice but achieving it"

Everyone should have the freedom to make their own choices about their body.

She added that Arab women were simultaneously exotified and “othered,” being asked if she knew how to belly dance and often mistaken as Muslim, even though she is Christian (p. 293).

People made wrong ideas about Arab women because of stereotypes.

In these ways, Delgado Bernal points to epistemology, “how we know what we know” as the popular definition says. Student of color epistemologies are not valued in schools often not beyond superficial celebrating of differences that also do not delve deeper into issues of discrimination due to the differences and other issues of inequities. Such epistemologies are exemplified by Delgado Bernal when she writes, What are often perceived as deficits for Chicana/Chicano students within a Eurocentric epistemological framework—limited English proficiency, Chicano and/or Mexicano cultural practices, or too many nonuniversity-related responsibilities—can be understood within a Chicana feminist perspective as cultural assets or resources that Chicana/Chicano students bring to formal educational environments (2013, p. 397).

Students of color have knowledge and strengths that schools often do not value.

Paulo Freire (1970) describes dehumanization as when people are considered less-than-human and that their status as humans is different than what it should be. Being humanized means they should have the ability to pursue their hopes and dreams, some of the very things that make them so human (p. 44).

Asian American Studies professors, Wei Ming Dariotis and Wesley Ueunten remind us that due to the “model minority” myth and the general lack of knowledge about Asian American history, most Americans don’t realize how issues of war impact today’s Asian American communities.

Race has consequences because physical bodies have been constructed to be valued differently.

This means people are treated differently because of their skin color. Some people are valued more than others, and this can cause unfair treatment.

For Du Bois, double consciousness symbolized the psychological impact of living in a racist society for African Americans in the years following the end of slavery. Societal treatment of African Americans as a “problem” contributed to the development of the Veil, a lens through which [African Americans] viewed themselves from the perspective of White Americans. Despite being citizens, African Americans were not fully regarded as such, a plight that contemporary Black Americans and other Americans of color still experience.

  This means Black people are treated unfairly in society. They may see themselves in two ways: their own identity and how White society sees them. This can affect how they think and feel about themselves.

Land, water and mineral rights are often protected through treaties;

 Native American tribes have land, water, and natural things. Treaties say they can use and protect them.
