V Points to Consider

Do you feel apathetic about racism? Why is this and how can you change that?

Do you have an internal racial bias?

How are BIPOC represented and portrayed in the media? Do you think the media twists stories to make them look a certain way?

How has my whiteness allowed me privileges not extended to BIPOC’s?

What do BIPOC have to worry about that white peo- ple do not?

How may I have been conditioned to view white- ness as superior and colour are inferior at home and school.

In what ways have I previously stereotyped BIPOC’s unfairly and for no valid reason?

Have you ever witnessed racism? How have you reacted in the past to it? Did you stand by and watch? What will you do now?

Been followed in a store unnecessarily?

Been mistaken for a ‘description’ or someone and accused of something you didn’t do?

Feared for your life when being stopped by the po- lice for no reason?

Been served after a white person or been refused service?
