Answer:

Colorism is a colonization of the mind” what does this quote means??

Explanation:

Skin color matters because we are a visual species and we respond to one another based on the way we physically present. Add to that the “like belongs with like” beliefs most people harbor, and the race-based prejudices human beings have attached to certain skin colors, and we come to present-day society, where skin color becomes a loaded signifier of identity and value. In the U.S. in particular, where we have an extremely diverse population, race still matters, but color matters, too.

In the 21st century, as America becomes less white and the multiracial community—formed by interracial unions and immigration—continues to expand, color will be even more significant than race in both public and private interactions. Why? Because a person’s skin color is an irrefutable visual fact that is impossible to hide, whereas race is a constructed, quasi-scientific classification that is often only visible on a government form.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The answer is c

Explanation:

In antiquity civilizations used their own language and enforced this language on conquered people. Ancient greeks used greek as their official language. The romans, on the other hand, prefered to use greek. The conquered minority groups had to subordinate themselves to the conquering empire, and adopt the official language, since neither the romans not the greeks were willing to learn other languages. (except for a few counter-examples such as Saint Augustine, who knew Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Punic, amongst others)
