RACIAL BIAS, HOW IS IT SHOWING UP IN YOUR WORLD?

THIS FULL LIFE

“White privilege is not necessarily about being white. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin. It’s about the fact that there is a power structure in place and has been for generations that affords certain people the luxury of never having to think about what they look like in terms of how they are treated by others. But for another part of the population it is inescapable to know that how you look and are perceived by others determines how you are treated. This is white privilege.” Delara Marchbank Race, Identity, skin color, and culture are very complex topics. The words Racial Bias might even sting to read them. In today’s episode I’m joined by my friend, yoga instructor, and activist Delara Marchbank. Coming from a background of Persian decent Delera’s learned the nature of racial bias and white privilege. Growing up being of race and color other than white is very different from growing up white.
