Questions About Race

What Do You Think of Race Relations in America and How Do You Think They Can Improve?

Attached is a video where I interviewed members of the community on race-related topics. I asked people of different ages, races, ethnicities, etc. different questions that allowed us to see their perspective on race relations in the United States and abroad. Some of the questions included "Have you ever personally been affected by racism?", "Do you believe white privelege exists?", and "What do you think we can do to combat racism and discrimination in our culture?"
