You believe that acknowledging and addressing the unique experiences and challenges faced by different social groups will lead to a more equitable and inclusive society.
Identity politics is a political ideology that emphasizes the unique experiences and challenges faced by members of specific social groups, particularly those who are marginalized or discriminated against. It is based on the idea that certain social groups, such as those defined by race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity, have distinct perspectives and interests that should be represented and addressed in political discourse and policy-making.
The concept of identity politics emerged in the late 20th century, primarily in the United States, during the civil rights mov…

Can you describe a time when you felt seen or heard because your unique experience or identity was acknowledged?
@9JBGM3G4mos4MO
In today's society identity is looked at as all someone is. We are often bombarded with critical race theory and other tactics to make white people feel bad.
@9JCSSM7Women’s Equality4mos4MO
It's important to acknowledge all of our different identities and celebrate them all equally, not in favor of or in spite of white people. This is the only way to learn from our mistakes and progress to create a better life for all.
@9JBH4LXWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
Whenever the teachers told you to stand up if you were one of the activities offered after school.
@9JCZ2HB4mos4MO
I think individuals are very oblivious to the truth and should be dealt with without having common knowledge of a topic, because their ignorance effects them and others!
@9JBF7R64mos4MO
at hockey when they called me out for doing something good.
@9JBH2494mos4MO
If this has to do with the "they/it / them" stuff. Find God pls.

How does celebrating someone else’s cultural festivities enhance your understanding of their identity?
@9KVKBC82mos2MO
It allows us to get a deeper understanding on how their culture is and what their beliefs are.
@9KV7VDJ2mos2MO
Cultural background helps people understand where they came from and it helps people connect with one another.
it helps people understand heritage and it should be a class kids have to take in high school
@9KV7HTJ2mos2MO
Cultural background helps people understand where that person is coming from and how they were brought up to believe.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
When was the last time you felt proud of an aspect of your identity and what prompted it?
@9HXHL724mos4MO
I have always felt proud of every aspect of my identity, whether it be generic or diverse. Self confidence is important in expressing individuality across all the political spectrum.
@9HXH7YC4mos4MO
The last time I felt proud of my identity is when I spend time with my family with my culture it shows me I have something different that other people don't have and it makes me proud.
@9HXHNZ5Republican4mos4MO
i would say 2016, The year Donald trump was elected
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What personal experience has most shaped the way you view issues of identity and inclusion?
@9KPXQGS2mos2MO
In my eyes, I see people as people. There should never be any barriers to who a person is, regardless of race, gender, or social class. Every person should be treated as equal, and should be able to have the same amount of freedom as anyone else.
@9KPXNFS 2mos2MO
My parents instilled my beliefs in me, and now I believe them for myself

@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Can you share an experience where celebrating a friend's cultural tradition opened up your understanding of their identity?
I feel like the only way to "end racism" is for everyone to share their traditions and culture with others. If a culture cannot be celebrated by anyone but the people of that culture then there will be nothing but disagreement and division in the world.
@9KG5W4M3mos3MO
this will not end racism i believe that people are going to think what they want at the end of the day and even if they were to be able to live a day in their life and celebrate their culture it may change there minds but you will still believe what you were taught
@9KFSKNS3mos3MO
I attended a Quinceanera that a friend of mine hosted and it helped me to understand more about the traditions that I personally hadn't gone through in my lifetime.
@9KFS3FS3mos3MO
Celebrating lunar new years was interesting in witnessing the vast popularity of such a holiday that I am not involved with remotely
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you approach learning about identities that are different from your own?
@9HXK5LYProgressive4mos4MO
Learning and understanding the identity and why it exist.
@9HXK4DDRepublican4mos4MO
You can identify with whatever you want, however you want, but don’t force your identity on me.
@9HXJYXT4mos4MO
I found it very hard and weird at first, but after a while I understood that a person has the liberty to choose to be whatever they want to be.
@9HXK8GS4mos4MO
This depends if a persons identity or beliefs are result in harm against another I disagree but I try to keep an open mind.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Have you ever felt represented or misrepresented by a politician who shares an aspect of your identity?
@9HFVRPS6mos6MO
Yes! I have! some of the people who claim to represent my interests or my community often are only doing this to gain the support of the community and to get the votes rather than to actually represent these issues.
@9HFVH2G6mos6MO
Most politicians share aspects of my identity, and I know I disagree with a lot of them, but I've never felt misrepresented by them. It's hard to do that as a white American, in my opinion.
@9HFVGP36mos6MO
no because i dont pay attention to politics and I already know that no one is going to think exactly like me
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would society change if identity politics was no longer a factor in our political system?
@9HCRXZ26mos6MO
IF THERE WAS NO POLITICS THEN OUR SOCIETY WOULD BE DIFFERENT BUT EVEN THEN IT DEPENDS.
@9HCRV7PProgressive6mos6MO
Our political system would change by creating more political parties
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
When have you ever had to explain or defend your identity to someone, and how did that make you feel?
@9HFVNGW6mos6MO
interviews, other special occasions you need to express or explain your identity to
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How does language shape our understanding of identity, and have you experienced this personally?
@9HZ4J9X4mos4MO
I feel like it can raise some stereotypes or it can cause people to get upset when you speak another language and embrace that culture because you grew up there.
@9HZ45ST4mos4MO
Using different words or phrases can be helpful in some instances, but people should never be forced to use certain terms and disallowed from using other terms accept in extreme circumstances.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do stereotypes about your identity differ from the reality, based on your personal experiences?
@9HV2K53 5mos5MO
I believe that you can say whatever you are but there is only male and female period.
