Reflection(Chinese):整体的论文创作话费时间较少,因为是referencebased,informativeessay,而非标准化的Academicjournal。在我RisingSenior时期参与的YaleYoungGlobalScholar的经历使我对于题材(colorblindracism)产生了很大的兴趣,因为常常现代的种族歧视并不是可以通过特定历史性用语行为便能判断出,而是更加的nuanced。在研究中我更加了解到intersectionality在colorblindracism中扮演的角色;且人們的Socioeconomicstatus和upwardmobility,culturalcapital的积累都对于racialawareness有着直接的影响。对于colorblindracism的深化理解,是美国种族平等呼吁的一种回应,支持;这也是我研究的原动力。
