Please write 6 short essays (200-400 words each, roughly). There are 6 essay prompts below. You need to form logical and accurate arguments using the assigned materials (attached below as PDF) to present your views, and these may be dramatically different from the professors views. Short of submitting hateful content, your well-formed and backed up opinion is what matters.

1- Are white people the only ones who can be racist? How would Ijeoma Iluo and Ibram X. Kendi respond to this? Be sure to note how their definitions of racist/racism differ and how this impacts who can be racist. 

2-Explain why and how race is a social construct. Be sure to outline the evolution of human skin pigmentation, and false assumptions of the biological race concept, but how the idea nevertheless impacts lives.

3-Outline what privilege is and is not within the context of social theory. Describe your intersectionality and areas in which you may be privileged or oppressed. Comment
