Refusing to recognize structural and institutional power

I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.

I can turn on the television and see people of my race widely represented.

When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.

I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, without having people align these choices to my race.

I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.

I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to "the person in charge," I will be facing a person of my race.

If a traffic cop pulls me over, I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race.

I can easily buy posters, postcards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children's magazines featuring people of my race.

I can be sure that if I need legal help, my race will not work against me.

I can choose blemish cover or bandages in flesh color and have them more or less match my skin.

I learned about my family’s culture as well as the country’s culture while in school

I learned about Martin Luther King Jr. and/or Rosa Parks with context

I learned about holidays from other cultures, not just American ones

I was able to experience the majority of elementary school in a multicultural student population

I can speak my native language comfortably in my workplace.
