Group Differences Forum Reflection

I think that Holly, Kelly and I came in very prepared to facilitate a discussion on racial stereotyping and how to handle it in positive healthy ways in the classroom, but I feel like the class was either not feeling discussion that day or were uncomfortable with our topic. Racial stereotyping can definitely be an awkward and uncomfortable topic, but as a group we talked about how to stay respectful towards everyone. However, there was little input on opinion on how our peers stereotype, or were ever a victim of stereotyping during our discussion so it was a little difficult. Overall, I think that our group differences project went well, but I know we were relying on more class participation to fuel our discussion than just talking at the class as much as we did.
