Ugly true colors are emerging in the wake of seeming support from the new American administration. Have you encountered injustices amidst the tides of change, and what did you decide to do about it?
• If you have confronted a person modeling injustice, what, if anything, did you do to stop it? If you let it go without confrontation, why did you choose not to engage?
• What tactic in handling the discrimination did you find to be the most effective? What was ineffective?
• What did you learn about your experience? What would you like others to know about a valuable moment in your interaction?
• Did you learn anything from the way you handled the incident? Specifically, do you think that you were able to potentially change the mindset of the discriminator? Do you think that taking steps at these local levels is even helpful in fighting oppression/stigmatization?
• Would you react the same way if faced with a similar situation? Why/why not?
