WGLT s recap of the event.
Wise’s research sought to discover whether a “color-blind” approach to race impacted how white people perceive microaggressions against people of color.
Wise said the question came from thinking about existing research that focused primarily on “marginalized populations.”
“Me being a somewhat skeptical individual, I always thought, ‘Well, what about the other side of that coin?’” Wise explained. “People of color cannot be marginalized unless there is some other group benefiting from their privileges in society.”
She came across previous studies that showed people who claim they don’t see color tend
not to see subtle discriminatory behaviors “microaggressions” as a problem. Why would this seemingly well-meaning view lead some white people to dismiss the concerns of people of color?

Students who sat the A-level examinations last year have achieved the best passing rate since 2006, despite the difficult circumstances brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Of the 11,646 candidates, 10,905 students, or 93.6 per cent, attained at least three H2 passes, with a pass in General Paper or Knowledge and Inquiry, said the Ministry of Education and the Singapore Examinations and Assessments Board in a joint press release yesterday.
The result was slightly better than the 93.4 per cent achieved by the 2019 cohort.
Similar to last year, students who returned to their schools yesterday to collect their results had to do so in their classrooms, instead of as a cohort in the school hall.
