Trigger words: white-dominated
Indicator sentences: I'm not quite sure what you mean when you said that the classes are "white dominated", as each student is required to attend, regardless of skin color.
Negotiation parts: "White dominated" doesn't only refer to the demographics of students taking the class (though as we know it also generally means that), but to the overall system that created the material in the first place. When you read from a textbook, what do you think the race/cultural background of the people who created it was? What about the teachers? The administrators? The experience of students of color educated in this country largely consists of learning about other peoples' culture in a formal setting. Why should we not also create a place that's explicitly and formally about them?
Trigger words: Ethnic Studies (2)
Indicator sentences: This isn't at all what Ethnic Studies is.
Negotiation parts: Ethnic studies is about *valuing* difference because that difference is not represented by educational materials/culture.
Trigger words: privilege (3)
Indicator sentences: That's not what privilege means at all.
