Today in my <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/English_as_a_second_or_foreign_language\" target=\"_blank\">ESL<\/a> class one of my students said he would let his daughter marry anyone\u2026 except for a Black person. I\u2019ve shared with my students many times and in a number of ways that I am proud of being Black (&amp; other things too). I also often use the exploration of \u2018race as a social construct\u2019 in order to teach English at the more advanced levels (as this class was). So what made this student feel comfortable enough to say this to me? Is it that I have a privilege that makes him feel like this kind of blatantly discriminatory statement is OK to say to me?&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire essay <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedrootsstories.org\/on-mixed-privilege\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been thinking a lot lately about whether there is such a thing as \u2018mixed privilege\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,8,23674,394,20],"tags":[118,12646,15960],"class_list":["post-36024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-media-archive","category-social-justice","category-socialscience","category-usa","tag-fanshen-cox","tag-fanshen-cox-digiovanni","tag-mixed-roots-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36024"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36024\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52385,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36024\/revisions\/52385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
