Racial Fantasies
In class we talked about racial fantasies, I believe racial fantasies are part of the reason why racism and white privilege still exists today. Racial fantasies in a way can be said to be like the racial "social norms" of society. Due to stereotypes of different ethnic groups that we all see in the media, we have these racial fantasies of how a specific group should act like which contributes to the problems we have today of discrimination of different races. It will be great to see a change to this, but I do not if it can be change completely. I wise person once said. " You have to want change for it to happen," and I just do not think enough people want change.
