I - Race Reflection Three: The Implicit Association Test-Exploring Our Racial Attitudes
The Activity: How do our implicit biases impact our views of other racial groups and our social interactions with them?

A. Reflect on your own racial and ethnic identities, tying them into history, culture, and the social construction of these categories. Consider:
a. What are your racial and ethnic identities? Where did they come from? How do you know them? How are they reproduced in your life?
b. How do they interact with other parts of your identity? Are they important to you? Why?
c. Determine whether or not your racial/ethnic identity is dominant or subordinate. Provide a real life example of how this identity has privileged or disadvantaged you.
d. Does your racial/ethnic identity cause confusion or distress either to you or to others? How and why?
