Abstract

We know that race matters. But it can be hard to pinpoint precisely *how* race matters.

In episode 3, we discuss 5 ways that race shapes life in America—even if we wish it didn’t. We’ll cover how race shapes (1) access to resources; (2) others expectations of us; (3) different treatment people receive; (4) our perspectives; and (5) the conditions we must navigate as we move through life.

This list is far from exhaustive. Still, it expands our vocabulary and helps us explain what we might mean when we say “race matters.”
