D‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍iscussion Questions (DQ) You are expected to be familiar with the readings such that you can explain and critique the major and finer points asserted by the authors and compare and contrast the positions of various authors. You will create 4-6 discussion questions, rooted in the readings and your own scholarly interests.‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍At least 2 of these questions must incorporate a quote from the readings for the week (this quote will contextualize your question). You do not respond to your own discussion questions; just post the questions you create.

2.“Structural racism doesn't just happen by accident; it is the result of specific policies, practices, and cultural logics that benefit whites and disadvantage non-whites” (Desmond and Emirbayer, 2020). In what possible ways can potential structural barriers trigger the continuity of racial inequality in America, and how are they different from personal codes of conduct that characterize discrimination and prejudice?
