In addition to being fascinating in its own right, the tale has important lessons. In particular, it illuminates the power of and problems with politicizing “culture,” with important implications of interest to anyone who cares about building multicultural democracies.

Privilege Walk Paper
WhenI participatedinthe privilege walktoday,Iwaswithmyclassmatesinthe FYSclass, and
we had to standshouldertoshoulderasa group. We were all standingabouttwoyardsaway froma
sidewalkandwe hadto pretendthatthe sidewalkwasthe Americanborder.Dependingonourfamily
historyandchallengesthatwe hadfacedinthe pastrelevantourbasicfeaturessuchas class, ethnicity,
gender,race,or sexuality,we wouldeitherhave tostepawayor towardsthe sidewalkaswe were asked
questionsaboutthe challengesandhistory.We were all asked35questionsaboutourfamilyhistoryor
thingsthat couldhave happenedtousinthe past, and if theywere negative thingswe hadtostepback
and vice versa.Inthe end,there were surprisinglymore of usstill awayfromthe sidewalkthanthere
were onor towards it.
As I participatedinthisexercise,Ifeltalittle bitshockedandemotional.Whatreallyshockedme
were the amountof people whowere standingbehindthe sidewalkatthe endof the exercise (myself
included).The reasonIwassoshockedwasbecause race reallydoesn’tmatterintermsof suffering

cause unemploymentorpoverty,oritcan be thingssuchas your heritage orsexuality.WhenI
participatedinthe exercise,thoughtsthatwentthroughmyheadinvolvedthe factthatpeople are
generallyextremelyjudgmental andwilldiscriminatebasedonbasicfamilyfeatures. Mymainthought
involvedthe factthatpeople are alwaysgoingtojudge youbasedonfacts andhistoryand youwill
alwayshave a riskof beingseriouslyjudged.
What I learnedfromthisexperimentwasthe factthat eventodaypeople are judgedand
belittledmore thananybodywouldthink. Ialsolearnedthatrace is onlyone factorwhenitcomesto
judgement,andotherthingssuchasfamilyhistoryormentalityrunsthe riskof judgement. This
experimenthelpedme forfuture events,because now Iknow particulartopicsof whichpeople will
