Eurocentrism - Black & Blonde
1. "Multiculturalism without the critique of Eurocentrism runs the risk of being merely accretive — a shopping mall boutique summa of the world's cultures — while the critique of Eurocentrism without multiculturalism runs the risk of simply inverting existing hierarchies rather than profoundly rethinking and unsettling them." - Ilene S. Goldman

2. Eurocentrism is something that is inherantly in our culture and in my opinion cannot 100% be eraticated from our society. However I like the above quote because it places a different light on eurocentrism. Its important when critiqueing it that you realized and somewhat appreciate it's place.
3. The most prevalant example in my everyday life of eurocentrism is the desire that African Americans have towards the european astetic. "Fair skin" or lighter complected black people are often seen as more beautiful that darker blacks. This picture is a blend of a blonde hair blue eyed white woman and a black woman with a darker complection.
