Depiction of race and its progression

Claire Kim’s article thoroughly explained in depth the description of race and how it came to be and is spoken about today. She goes on to write about the white privileges which are one of the main causes of this depiction and the racial inequality that other races have faced. It was a very in depth article that dove into the intricacies of racial depiction and how it became what it is today and the variety of elements that we use to associate with race nowadays. “Since the norms of colorblindness have expurgated overtly racial claims from the “public transcript” during the post-civil rights era, talk about a groups’s culture often serves to disguise what are fundamentally racial claims.” After this statement, she goes on to explain how racial superiority has created this facade that other groups of people are more doomed to fail and others are already granted the path to success before they are even born. Due to the cultural backgrounds of these peoples, they are are at a disadvantage and along with this comes the racial inequality that these cultural groups now faced due to being one of this culture. I think that this quote is significant due to the fact that she goes to to elaborate on this key point on how there are many different forms of nonracial language, and that culture has become one of the many nonracial languages. I also believe that these statements hold true to this day as I have experienced this in my own life as an Asian-American living in a predominately Caucasian town. As many other races were not present within my school at the time when I was young, I can recall in middle school that I would often be called out to do math problems because I was supposed to be good at them by the white people that were in my class. I didn’t pay much attention to it back then as I was didn’t understand what it really meant but when I found out, I made sure that no one would make that kind of association with me again, as math is actually one of my poorer subjects.
