"One of the ways in which my life has been shaped by my race is that my race is held up as the norm for humanity. Whites are "just people" – our race is rarely if ever named. Think about how often white people mention the race of a person if they are not white; my black friend, the Asian woman. I, on the other hand, am just a woman, a teacher, a friend."
Robin DiAngelo, "How Race Shapes the Lives of White People" (2012).
