White Mainstream

I feel that white mainstream is the social norms set by white people. These individuals feel that everyone should follow these norms and nothing else. They feel that this is the only road to take when really it is not. Anyone who does not follow these norms are looked down upon.

    The tragedy of our society is not just that people who do not conform to the norms are looked down upon, but that everything about their lives, about all of our lives, is decided by and measured by these norms, of whiteness, of maleness, of heterosexuality. How can we really make our society more inclusive of everyone's abilities?
