Whitewashed.

One of my course is called “Diversities of women: gender, race, class and (dis)abilities”. It is so interesting! We talk about colonialism, racism, white supremacy and different kind of oppressions. Last week, we watched a film called “Whitewashed, Unmasking the World of Whiteness” which is a documentary about whiteness, racial identity and racism. It really makes me think about my privilege in matter of being born in a white body. Also, the discussions in class is always interesting as well. The social context and discourse in Canada is different compared to Sweden in many ways.
