Question 1: How did it feel to consider how society sees you (based on racial stereotypes and hierarchies) and then place yourself in the “field of racial positions” according to these categories?
It is a bit disturbing and uncomfortable considering how society grades people all the time. It seems inevitable as in most cases, one will always be categorized depending on some factors such as economic status, religion, rand race among others (Powell 13). As said, it is uncomfortable, considering how much I value equality as well as the humanness in the human unlike ones race. It is quite unfortunate that society will always categorize me based on my race or skin color. The superiority or inferiority complex is a creation of the minds in the society and usually creates discomfort and should never be used to categorize or alienate people (Kim 108).
