growing up white in america
Bonnie Kae Grover, the author of “Growing up White in America,” states that she is not ashamed of being white. She is ashamed of what is means to be white when that whiteness is used to hurt or belittle nonwhites. Growing up white in America is not so different from any other culture in America. Those that tend to make a point of being white run the risk of not being accepted by their own or other nonwhites.
