The other day in class we discussed the concept of passing. I think it is very important to remember where you came from and stand up for yourself. However, because of today's society,I can see why some people would try to pass. I feel that things that exists in our society such as white privilege may push people from certain minority groups to try to pass as white. In cases like these I can understand that people are trying to pass in order to gain more benefits for themselves. I hope that our society can move forward to a day where people do not feel the need to pass. When our society gets to a point where everyone no matter race, ethnicity,sexual orientation, etc. can share the same benefits, I feel people will no longer find it necessary to try and pass.
