Scan your environment and list all the indications you see that communicate the message that “White is Right” or that being white is normative—even superior. Explain why each item indicates “White is Right.” For example: Flesh colored bandages are whose flesh color? Try to find at least 10 different items from at least 2 different sources or places. For example, listing, Band-Aids and Ace bandages would be two items, but from the same source/place.
