Marcia, a white college student, is being interviewed about friendships. When asked if she has any friends of color she states she doesn't but explains that it is not her fault because there aren't a lot of them in her school and her parents won't allow her to go to any "sketchy" neighborhoods. She does quickly add that she knows many people of color and interacts with them at work and at the
mall when they ring her up and she doesn't care what color they are. This is an example of what type of racism?
a. Aversive racism
b. Colorblind Racism
c. Cultural racism
d. Explicit Racism
A Correct Answer: Aversive racism
Feedback for Correct Answer: Although well intentioned, Marcia rationalizes her lack of personal cross cultural relationships by arguing how diverse her work place and the mall are. She is quick to point out that she has no issue with people of color; however she frames her argument in terms of work and shopping where relationships are more likely to have unequal power structures.
