Deconstructing Ethnicity and Race in Media

(Links to an external site.)

To help us further unpack the difference between ethnicity/culture and race, we offer these three video clips. In each clip, please consider:

· Where do you see ethnicity? Where do you see people building their nest in order to be, belong, and become whole and well?

· Where do you see race? Where do you see people experiencing being caged by being othered, outed, or oppressed?

· Where do you see power? Where do you see the power of self-determination and resilience? Where do see the power of hierarchically lifting one group over others or putting one group down below others?
