Watch the three short YouTube/Instagram clips below and answer the question. Include in your answer at least 3 course concepts, and their definitions*, from the race and gender units (weeks 9, 10, and 11). Please bold your selected concepts. Lastly, provide a reference list.

Questions
Concisely and briefly describe each video
Name at least one way each video deepens our understanding of gender (and sexuality) in relation to race, ethnicity, and/or Indigeneity. How does each video link gender and sexuality to things like imperialism (or orientalism), anti-blackness, and colonialism?
In regard to video 3 (where there are two speakers), consider: how might we also critique and deconstruct the implicit anti-blackness of the reporter’s words and their perspective of gender and sexuality?
Why do you think some sociological thinkers, especially FQTBIPOC* thinkers, argue that, not only do gender (plus sexuality) and race intersect, but race is actually foundational to our (western) understanding of gender?
Asterisk notes:
*1 page is the equivalent of at least three paragraphs, as stated in the rubric.
*You can define a concept directly (such as, ‘racism can be defined as…’), or indirectly through your application of the concept. Regardless, the meaning of all your concepts should be clear in your analysis.
*If you can’t access the Instagram video, here is the YouTube link.
*FQTBIPOC: Feminist, Queer, and Trans, Black, Indigenous and People of Color.
