What is the trap of the white standard that Seven mentions?
Trap of the white standerd
Trap of the white standerd
The conversation between Starr, DeVante, Seven, and Chris brings up an interesting exploration of the white standard. While Chris is not intentionally racist, he still exhibits a bias toward white cultural norms by referring to African-American names as odd or unusual. This conversation also offers a playful examination of what makes a person white or black. By “testing” Chris with examples of black culture, Starr, DeVante, and Seven push up against the question of what defines that culture.
