This Book is Anti-Racist Response

     This was a short and sweet way to sum up an ongoing internal struggle I never quite understood. This was and continues to be a hard question to answer, and unfortunately, it had much to do with the "box" of a dominant culture. I was always worried about having the wrong traits but never questioned why I even considered a trait "wrong" or "right". One line that really stuck with me was, "the dominant culture' is what has been considered 'normal' and this 'normal' has been created and is maintained by those who are in the box." 

    This book creates awareness and allows you to ask yourself the right questions, while breaking the labels and boxes society has built. the way the author so simply listed her traits, creates the realization that it could all be so simple and this box is silly. were all so unique, so this unrealistic "only one right way" mindset is impossible to live by.
