For this week's in-class interview, we were discussing about the double standard that society seems to have on race activists and gender activists. When race activists are shown in the media, they seem to be portrayed in a positive way as opposed to feminists who are portrayed as "annoying" or people who just "want to be better than men." In my interview, the interviewee stated that in history, the issue of slavery has been portrayed as a bad thing whereas gender inequality has been overlooked throughout the years; it just seemed to be natural. Also, the interviewee said that with race, mostly men are the ones who stand up for race equality and that could possibly be the reason why people listen to them more rather than feminists since they are mostly women.
