Food for thought here. My caveat on item #3 is that when confronting things like racist remarks, I don’t think there’s much (if any) need to question your perceptions first.
[Note from Ryan: While this post isn’t directly about writing much, I think much of what is discussed can be applied to writing. For example, book reviews for other authors and interacting with readers. I enjoyed Stephanie’s article and I think you all will to. Enjoy!]
