Abstract

This Article is part of a larger intellectual project to encourage a shift in-or at least a broadening of-our conceptualization of discrimination. With this Article, I hope to expand our notion of what it means to be a perpetrator of discrimination. Typically, we define a perpetrator of discrimination as someone who acts intentionally to bring about some discriminatory result. This is a narrow and politically palatable conception. Those of us who unquestionably accept the racial, gender, and heterosexual privileges we have, and those of us who fail to acknowledge our victimless status vis-i-vis racism, sexism, and homophobia, are also perpetrators of discrimination.
