What is front stage and backstage racism? Give examples of each
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response:
• Front stage racism is a subtle form of racism that occurs when people of color are present. This type of racism takes the form of being overly nice, using code words or even mimicking "black mannerisms and speech." I t can also be in the form of crossing the street to avid contact or avoiding certain places where people of color tend to go.
• Backstage racism occurs in all white company. Usually someone, a protagonist, initiates a racist act, a cheerleader encourages the act, and spectators stand by in silence. Occasionally a dissenter will object but they are usually told to "lighten up" and it is "only a joke." An example of back stage racism is when a racist joke is told or a prejudicial stereotype is discussed.
