Carrie Sotro's Journey To Responsiveness, Don't Call Me White, Call Me Italian Series, Part 1 of 3, Season 6, Episode 12

Who knew that Italian immigrants worked the grape crops in California? The final episode of season 6 begins a new series focusing on how we, the macro-society and pretty much all forms of media, conflate race and culture non-stop. For this series, we look specifically at educators who are Caucasian (or white racially) but are not white culturally. Hence, don't call me white, call me _____. Listen in to the journey of Carrie Sotro, proud Italian and CLR educator extraordinaire. Carrie's Italian history in America, which goes back many generations, is classic. Learn how Carrie has walked the fine line between the racial expectation of being white juxtaposed to the reality of her ethnic identity. Dr. Hollie's two cents provides the background, history, and context for this series. You will be provoked. Learn more about CLR and Dr. Hollie at www.culturallyresponsive.org and Twitter @validateaffirm
