What does it mean to be white?
Dr. DiAngelo tells us that white people are socialized to see whiteness as a default, a generic, a non-trait that is devoid of race -- that race is something that belongs to other people and is usually associated with something bad or negative. This question is intended for all LASNNY staff, in light of your own racial identit(ies): When did you first become aware of whiteness? Can you remember and share your first impressions of whiteness or what it means to be white? How has your perspective of whiteness changed over time, if at all?
