How might you describe yourself to someone who has never come in contact with you before, in as FEW words as possible? What experiences have you personally had with racism, prejudice, homophobia, sexism , or any other forms of discrimination? If faced with a situation in which direct confrontation with a prejudiced individual is unavoidable, is violence an acceptable way to deal with the situation? If not, why? If so, in what situation might you find a violent confrontation necessary or acceptable?
