Gender, Sexual Orientation, And Religion
I would say that I have quite a few advantages due to my race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion as well as disadvantages. Being a female Caucasian Christian I have advantages as to being white. Being white I don't get second looks and I am taken more seriously at times. Although as a woman there are some people things or activities that is frowned upon. I grew up with grandparents who looked down on Blacks and Mexicans and other religions mainly because I think they didn't fully understand those people. so growing up as a little girl looking up to her Elders it was difficult for me to understand the hardships that those people go through even today. I find in an importance in learning and understanding other people's opinions and thoughts
before judging on appearances or second hand information from people who don't fully understand the subject to begin with some ways being white and female that have impacted my life has been being accepted by my family and other people easier. going to schools sporting events or even into town I wasn't ever frightened or worried for my well-being. If anything I was more cautious of the shirt I wore then of people's opinions on my well being. I find it sad and heartbreaking that there are people still today who look down on others just because they are different from them or holding onto grudges from the past. as a 19 year old Caucasian woman I make it my mission to fully understand other people's lives and lifestyles to help one another and not put each other down but to help each other back up. Because in my opinion I feel that being an American or US citizen shouldn't be narrow down to a certain distinct race or religion. but to accept one another for who we are and to love each other.
