Question

Angel Williamson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  When students of color are asked to speak for an entire population, they are being dubbed as experts on race in the classroom setting. This can be problematic as it places a burden on these students to represent the entirety of their race, which is an impossible task. It can also perpetuate stereotypes and assumptions about a particular race or ethnic group. It is important to recognize the diversity within these communities and not place the responsibility of speaking for an entire group on individual students.
