Question:
Emily Patterson is a Caucasian human services student and currently works as a visitation worker. She picks up children in foster care from their foster homes and brings them to the agency where they get to visit with their biological parents. She supervises the visits to ensure child safety. During class this week, Emily says that she knows racism and discrimination exists, but she doesn't "see" race and treats all her clients the same. She asks why it is so important that she learn about the social issue of racial/ethnic inequality, since we're all humans.
Respond to Emily's question in a reflection. Use ethical practice considerations from the NASW Code of Ethics and the NOHS Ethical Standards.
Focus on why it is important for human service students to understand racial and ethnic inequality.
