@kelliesnider.art: VIDEO NOTES WE ARE NOT THE NORMAL ONES QUICK TAKE: Many White Americans grow up assuming that our way of speaking, behaving, worshiping, communicating, and living is simply "normal." Sociologists call this ethnocentrism: judging other cultures using our own cultural standards. Recognizing that tendency is an important step toward building better relationships across difference.
