Episode 10: Disrupting Prejudice
Unlike bias, prejudice is a conscious belief, usually incorporating an unfair and inaccurate stereotype. When addressing prejudice, “It” statements are a useful way to draw a boundary between a person’s freedom to believe what they want and their right to impose their beliefs on others. In this episode, Kim and Wesley speak with Omar Gallaga, who shares his own past experience with prejudice as a young journalist attending college in Oklahoma.
