How have your knowledge, beliefs, or attitudes about race and racism changed over the quarter, if at all? Looking back on your previous responses, can you describe an instance in which your thinking about race or racism changed? What do you wish you would have learned or experienced that you did not? What would you tell an school administrator about the utility of the DEI requirement and how best to promote DEI goals on campus?

Solution Preview

Over the quarter, my knowledge and beliefs on racism have significantly changed on the notion that I have a better understanding on the impact of racism and practices that are deemed normal irrespective of the fact they are indeed racist. Initially, I perceived racism as a diminishing act in society having been heavily practiced during the slavery period. However, this has since changed having understood the existence of socially structured racism. Through this, practices that are considered normal are racist but little is done to change the situation.
