The Racial Hierarchy of MASKulinity, with Dr. Liu - Part 2 ENCORE

We’re back with part 2 with Dr. Liu.

• Dr. Liu sheds light on the real impact at work, in public spaces, and more on men of color being held to the standard of white masculinity. 

• We dig into the notion of racial meritocracy and the dangers of falling for it!. Is proximity to whiteness helpful in certain spaces? Perhaps, but it’s still a facade. And don’t we want our selves evaluated just for us? 

• Dr. Liu shares some statistical insights on how various generations dea lwith and understand the intersection of masculinity and race. 

• We continue getting the game on how pervasive white supremacy is and how important it is to continue discussing race when talking about gender and sexuality.
