Ethnocentrism and Racism

For this week's discussion, share your thoughts about ethnocentrism and racism.

• Please refer to concepts covered in this week's resources or activities.
• Attaching an article, video, podcast, meme, et cetera, as part of your post is always a good idea, but remember that you will need to write sufficient text in the post to meet the required point total for the post. Points will not be earned for merely attaching the resource and submitting a post without any descriptive text.
• Note: Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig's Create option to create a new post.

Select one of the following prompts to begin your discussion post this week:

• Describe a population you would like to work with. What stereotypes or forms of discrimination has this population faced?
• Describe institutional racism and share a specific example. How would you address this problem from a social work perspective?
