Society does a good job of being two sided, especially when it comes to race. When a white woman is called strong, usually there are positives connotations associated with it. Words such as "independent," "powerful," or "influential" are often heard in the same context. However, when it comes to black women, strong means scary. Society is intimidated by the sight of strong minded black women. But why? Is it because of one experience that caused this reaction towards all black women? Is the only difference skin color?

It's interesting how so much of society is tied to politics, even something as simple and natural as hair. The idea that having a different hairstyle must mean you're trying to make a statement, although sometimes that is the case, devalues identity and culture from places that isn't America. In today's media, women of color and their "natural" hair are being used heavily to grow companies and draw attention because it's different than the majority of consumers.

This question is especially personal to me and I think it is very important because of how much it tends to happen in American society. There is this social construct where it is "normal" to see asians in medical professions or professions with a high salary that require more time in education. The stereotype that asians are smart or black people can jump higher is also another result from this social construct.

Not only is this part of the blog highlighting a major example of privilege, it also reveals how blind society is when it comes to racial problems. The question, "Can't we just be human beings?" makes it seem as if they're trying to avoid the problem regarding racism. Whether that's because it's uncomfortable to talk about or simply because they think it's not worth it, it's a prime example of privilege. Furthermore, as good as it sounds, the idea of seeing everyone as human beings simply doesn't exist and is highly unlikely to in the near future. The failure to realize this is another key example of privilege
