[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the race card PP. I just think it sounds so stupid. She is a successful woman and all of a sudden she mentions her race and how this presumably hindered her success. Why does she do it? To let us know she would have been even more successful if she were white? Well, if she were a man, maybe she would have succeeded even more, you know? [/quote] Actually, she's contextualizing her success. She was sharing what racist obstacles she had to overcome, from her perspective, in order to get where she is. Sharing such stories helps others who are either unaware of such struggles, perpetrate those acts, or are going through similar circumstances have an example to use for better understanding. A really good example of this is an indepth interview NPR did a few months back with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. She talks about workplace racism in her rise to success. Highly recommend you listen.[/quote]
