Comments:
- Every women is a women of color
- The story that stood out the must was the girl who identified as white but appeared as a women of color yet degraded the whole race. She runs around with a confederate flag at an event but she ignores the story behind that flag and the race that was burned because of that flag. She also had a picture where she was making fun of the KKK and viewed it as a joke when that was something serious. She pretty much ignored a history of African Americans that have worked through these struggles to be where they are today.
- The only girl that seemed that she had a somewhat logical explanation was the girl that expressed she only identified with one side because she didn't know her other side of the family
