This image is the image that I want to share with this week’s photo share about segregation continued. Segregation has been a hot topic for a long time and still exist as a important topic to talk about. Even though I’m a foreigner and I haven’t lived in US for a long time. I could see how the communities, cities and towns are segregated, there are ghettos, white dominant places, Asian dominant places or mexican dominant places. I believe that separation not only exist in the space but also separation also exist in the education. The photo that I would like to share is about the map and percentage of which degree of white kids attending majority-white schools and black kids attending majority-non white schools. The separation seems so obvious to me and I believe that the major reason for this is because of segregation in space and living space

The image that I chose for this week relates to our conversation on white fragility. This is one slide of a cartoon that shows that the woman is ordering a coffee mentioning “Ok, then… black coffee and white half & half” where it shows the sensitivity of white people on the word “black” and the word “race” that is written on the sign. I believe that this could express the term “white fragility” itself. Also, when I saw this cartoon, it reminded me of the term “Political Correctness” where everything has to be equal and right. Like they have to mention every other races and minorities, to be correct and for the equality, which it doesn’t have to be like that. I believe that for both “white fragility” and “political correctness” they want to avoid any kinds of critics or being accused of ignorance.

The photo that I decided to share for week 3 is the is picture, since this photo clearly and definitely shows the segregation between the race. Now days we don’t see this kind of sign that shows and obvious segregation in our classroom or any other places. By looking at this picture, it is apparent that white people wanted to separate themselves from not only the Blacks but also with the people of colors and put a fences or a boundaries. From this photo, I was able to see how vicious people was at that time to the people with colors. They not only segregated and put boundaries between the people with colors but also, put up a sign to inform and those who aren’t white, cannot be in the same classroom.

The image I have chosen for this week represents the space or land that shows the significant different inequality, between not only the different race but also with the same race and ethnicity. This is picture of the city in South Korea that is going to be going through a redevelopment. Those houses below the skyscrapers are going to crushed and torn apart for people who are living in skyscrapers and better looking , such as apartment or a mall. Those houses are very old and worn out. However, the reason for redevelopment is not because of it’s age, it’s happening because of gentrification. People with money and power, are wanting to get rid of the places. The reason behind is because the people who own the land and lives near this place doesn’t like the looks of this place, which is the significant part of determining the price of the real estate.
