Please educate yourselves, teachers.

I think if everyone would just be themselves this wouldn't be a problem. Its painful to watch someone, who isn't use to be around a different race try to communicate with them. And people can sense when someone isn't comfortable communicating with them.

4. Intentionally or Unintentionally Mispronouncing Names
I'm sorry. The rules of language dictate how words are pronounced. Not some ignorant mother that thinks her baby's name should be pronounced a certain way. I knew a girl who named her kid Sumer.
Tried to say it was pronounced "summer".
Sorry. Vowels and consonants don't work like that.

They want ebonics until they don't want ebonics. Black people are terribly confusing.

why would you even go to everydayfeminism.com? Are you trying to rustle your own jimmies?

Being yourself means you're being racist because you can't escape your white privilege. I mean, that's Trigger 101.

So if you are ignorant and naive, how does this help you exactly?

I'm glad you asked.

With how common racially coded language in the US, there are surely words that enter our common vocab that can do damage to our efforts to build racially just schools. Whether we’re referring to our students as “ghetto” or to their parents as “tiger moms” or saying “if only the parents cared about their kids education,” there are many overt ways that we can introduce racially coded language that devalues and/or otherizes our students and their families. Perhaps even more common (particularly for White teachers in poorer, often urban areas) is treating our students as inspiration or poverty porn when talking to other White people. This is one I know I have done many times. There is no need for me to include details about the harrowing life experiences of my students when talking to friends, yet I do so anyway to express just how “tough” things are for “those kids.” While we may be able to argue that this is to help our White peers empathize, rarely is this done in any sort of humanizing way. Rather, we are usually just trying to prove our credentials as a teacher who taught in the “inner city” or “the barrio.”

This one, in my opinion, is the most enlightening.

4. Intentionally or Unintentionally Mispronouncing Names
One of the more subtle but powerful ways that White teachers inject racism into our schools is in how we engage with names that are different than those we grew up knowing. Sometimes it shows up in simply not taking the time to learn how to properly pronounce a student’s name – but other times, it’s active resistance. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard of teachers saying, “Their names are just too hard for me to pronounce,” so they settle for assigning nicknames. What we communicate with this microaggression is that the student’s identity ought to conform to the world we know, not that we ought to be responsive to the student.

But if they didn't guess what would happen? That's right......they would be called racists. Lose-lose.

I went to an all white, rural school.
We had a black track coach. He used to love to tell us how our girlfriends really wanted the bbc and that we were all pussies and would get arse raped if we ever went into the ghetto.
I guess he was well meaning though

Wow. He was so brave to be in an all-white environment like that.

This knows no racial boundary. All parents should care about their kids education. Unfortunately all races are guilty of this. Except for Asians.

There is a simple solution for this, white people should stop teaching non-whites for fear of accidental oppression. This whole thing will be sorted out naturally and the country will be back on track in 20-30 years.
