Issues of Race, Gender, and Class

It is impossible for one to read any text without reading his/her worldview into it somewhat. Even something that is written from a different perspective than the individual's worldview. The person must know something about the subject being presented by the text. The way that the individual considers the subject is still servant to the original bias that the reader has. People are bias. That is the way it is. No matter how much they may say they are unbiased, everyone will still have a slant, no matter how small or seemingly irrelevant.

I believe that almost all of Peggy McIntosh's list of the "privileges of white people" can apply to any race. Both blacks and whites tend to congregate in groups of similar individuals. That is just the way things are and people tend to be. Also, things that in individual does, in most cases, reflect on only the individual, not the race as a whole.
