Does everyone have a racial identity? Chanel Björk Sturludóttir discusses the impact of structural racism on society and the importance of mirroring oneself in one's environment. She talks about whiteness as a subtle norm that is almost unrecognizable in everyday life. Experiences of others automatically become insignificant, if they don’t conform to this norm. Any talk of a post-racial society, where everyone is "colorblind", would silence experiences of being othered. Chanel shares her critical thinking on race as a social construct as well as her encounters with structural racism in Iceland, a force which transcends both the good or bad intentions of individuals.
