Please choose an example of racism where you feel that colorblindness, intersectionality or white privilege could provide useful insight, and answer the following questions about it:
1. What is the general situation?
2. How might the concept (colorblindness, intersectionality or white privilege) help us to see aspects of the situation that might be hidden or minimized by an analysis that doesn’t make use of the concept?
3. What are these aspects?
4. What, if any, new solutions – or types of solutions – does this concept suggest, that might not otherwise be visible?
NOTE: I’m not asking you to necessarily provide a complete solution to the problem you describe. I’m just asking – based on your analysis – what kinds of general strategies do you think might be useful.

A Note on Citations
Since this is a short response essay, rather than a formal paper, the expectations for citations are less stringent than they might otherwise be. Since it is generally understood that the ideas you will be addressing are derived from class sources, in most cases you do not need to provide formal citations; you can simply refer to the source in question (e.g., “As the film Race: The Power of An Illusion stated…” “As we discussed in class…” etc.)
