Amanda Is White and Attends a Multiracial Church

Amanda is white and attends a multiracial church. When pointing out people to others, she used to describe white people by their hair color and their clothing (e.g., "The blonde woman in the blue button-down.") , and people of color by their clothing and their race or ethnic group (e.g., "The black woman wearing the green dress and turquoise jewelry.") . She was not trying to be racist at all, but felt as though those that heard her variance in descriptions marked difference between people of different races more than she intended. Which of the following markers of difference best applies to this situation?

A) Difference is connected to power - those in power construct differences.
B) All differences are not created equal - binary systems of difference are characterized by dominant poles.
C) Difference contrasts with and complements what is defined as "normal."
D) Difference is communicatively constructed.
