Heard of code switching? Here's why these Western students do it


Meet three Western students who hopscotch between parts of their own identity on campus and how that could help the school re-think anti-racism policies. Igie-Ogiugo, who is also often among just a handful of Black students in lectures, said it's not unusual to be faced by micro-aggressions. "It's kind of those things that seem really minuscule to people who aren't Black that are really really important and really really hurtful to people who are Black," she said. For instance she doesn't usually talk about anti-Black racism with her white friends — something she's passionate about. "The only reason why I ended up coming is because of clubs like the Black Student Association and the African Student Association," she said.
