Panel of UA professors discuss race
UA Speaker Series addresses race and sexuality topics during Campus Week of Dialogue
While Rudy Gaudio is against racial labeling, he said it's ironic that stereotypes have allowed him to help others.
"The construction of whiteness in this country has allowed me to assume a position of authority," said Gaudio, anthropology assistant professor.
He said this position has allowed him to defend others persecuted by racial and sexual discrimination.
A four-member panel made up of University of Arizona professors discussed the issues of race and sexual orientation at noon yesterday in the Memorial Student Union's Arizona Ballroom.
The problem is that we have to label people as gay and lesbian before we can accept them into our community, Gaudio said.
