Students were required to address ‘whiteness’ and describe what the term ‘white’ means, as well as explain how they ‘navigate race’ in their daily lives.

I think this is the perfect kind of class for undergraduates attending American Universities. A class which directly challenges students' pre-existing biases and lays out contemporary arguments so that the class can have a shared understanding of what they're discussing whether they are supportive or opposed to those arguments. I was challenged like this when I was in college outside of class and having to directly consider these ideas among people I really repected helped me immensely in my understanding of American culture dynamics and ability to use reason when facing difficult claims.
