I read an article by a white woman who had an African-American woman join her yoga class. In the article the author invented a scenario in her mind about this "heavy-set black woman" who obviously just came in to do some yoga. The author, who talked about wanting to help this poor woman, came up with elaborate assumptions about her based solely on race.

She went on a big long rant where she thought she had cracked some racial code, or something, and ended up in her house crying, or something. <br /><br />The point I'm trying to make is that yes, sometimes when the majority has general curiosities, it can often come across as condescending, and completely ignorant, when they assume all minorities are alike based on television and their few experiences around them.Samuelhttp://www.samuelcolunga.comnoreply@blogger.com
