As a white women I experience privileges that I don't even know about everyday and that ultimately effects me in a positive way, but I am aware that there are unfair balances in our communities. The last video about the microaggressions really called our societies behavior and actions towards people of color and others with a differing gender orientation, ethnicity, and religion from a cis white man. It also made me think about the way I live and how it differs from others and that I am lucky to not be questioned about my existence whenever I leave the house, but it also opened my eyes to how dire these situations are, and how we need to find ways to approach people with more compassion and understanding. There can always be better way to talk to someone about their identity than being so rude and ignorant.

Franzjhazza Yabut Those privileges kinda affected me in a negative way and it kinda also think of me since some people always ask what my race is sometimes they do jokes about it which most of the time is not funny especially when they are trying to make up a word in my language and i do think twice before doing it since I always think about how the person will feel in addition to that i don't wanna hurt the person too and yes there are better ways to talk about people’s identity you just need to think carefully about what your going to say so that they don't get offended and just be nice while your talking to them
