Critical Race Theory.

Critical Race Theory.

 Critical race theory is a school of thought that confronts social injustices fronted by the dominant white culture. It challenges mainstream and conventional views regarding race relations. Despite successes of civil rights activism and the resulting legislation, American society remains unequal and biased in favor of the white majority.

In this paper, I attempt to offer an alternative narrative against using two case studies in both instances, and the main issue is racial stereotyping. The first case involves Samantha, who hails from an extended family with strong kinship bonds. In this situation, it’s important to note that although the teachers might not be bigots, their comments are prejudiced. Their perspective of life has based the notion that white Americans hold against racial minorities. It’s crucial to understand Samantha’s background and how her family values kinship. Anthony’s case represents another typical case of cultural stereotypes. His parents are immigrants who have the best interest of their son at heart. The fact that they attend school activities is proving enough. It’s essential to explain to my colleagues the importance of tolerance to other people’s cultures. The fact that I don’t speak your tongue doesn’t mean I deserve ridicule

White fragility is a concept used to explain how white folks become defensive and intolerant when faced with evidence of racism or social inequalities. Being a social liberal, I fail to comprehend how someone can entertain bigoted ideas or support a system that looks down on others. I’ll try and educate the fragile ego that it’s not okay to be uncomfortable when confronted with evidence of racial injustices. White fragility arises from the guilt associated with the shameful and corrupt actions.
