Developed By: The University of Arizona C.A.T.S. Life Skills Program In Partnership with the NCAA DISCRIMINATION STEP UP TO DISCRIMINATION Before we begin, please read the following: 1. This presentation is meant to generate thought and promote discussion. We recognize and appreciate that these topics may contain sensitive material. 2. Many of you in the room may have had personal experiences with discrimination. Through the course of this discussion, dialogue may occur that causes an emotional reaction from you. Therefore, feel free to leave the room. If you need assistance please speak to a trainer. 3. We ask that everyone be respectful of others and be conscious and respectful of the diversity of reactions to the topic. Discrimination “Differential treatment based on unfair categorization. A denial of fairness prompted by prejudice.” • Racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, ageism etc. • People can discriminate because of prejudice, stereotypes or implicit bias. Stereotypes “A generalization about the attributes of a particular social identity group without regard to individual diversity within the group. Usually is negative, but in all cases is limiting and ignores the history and social context for its creation.” • Stereotypes are sometimes based on a “kernel of truth” or a limited experience with a group. ( i.e. student-athletes don’t care about school, all black athletes are fast etc.) Prejudice “An attitude, opinion or feeling without adequate prior knowledge, thought or reason.” • Hating gay people • Suspicious of all muslims Implicit Bias “Implicit bias is the bias in judgment and/or behavior that results from subtle cognitive processes (e.g., implicit attitudes and implicit stereotypes) that often operate below conscious awareness and without intention.” Explicit bias “reflects the attitudes or beliefs that one endorses at a conscious level.” I have been discriminated against in my lifetime. 1.

What does staying silent say? STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE HELPING Preliminary Action Steps 1. Identify the bias 2.Form a goal based on the source of the bias – Change negative beliefs – Change negative attitudes – Change discriminatory behavior 3.Determine the safest and most effective way to address the bias. 4.Decide which strategy to use. Strategies 1st: Reduce the tension a. Ask the person to talk positively about themselves. b. Tell a story b. Compliment the person or talk about something you have in common. 2nd: Then Pick a Strategy Individuation Approach Try to get the person to see others as individuals instead of members of a disliked group. • Highlight things about a targeted group member that are different from perceptions. • Tell them something about the targeted member so that the person could get to know and appreciate them as individuals. Recategorization or Common Identity Approach Get others to see that the targeted group is similar to others and shares similar goals. • Highlight things the person and targeted group share in common. • Discuss issues that affect both the person and the targeted group • Think of other ways to get the person to see things from a different perspective. Confrontation Approach Point out the inconsistency in the person’s actions and stated beliefs. • Point out a statement as a potential bias • Ask the person if they think all people should be treated equally and then point out how their views contradict that. • Ask the individual if they value diversity then remind them of how they might unfairly stereotype others. Confrontation can make the person angry and cause him/her to lash out or seek revenge. A person should RARELY use this approach Action Steps 1. Be Ready You know at some point you will hear or see something inappropriate or discriminatory. Think of yourself as the one to STEP UP! Be prepared and know what you will say and how you will handle it. “Why do you say that”? “Do you really mean what you just said”? Identify the Behavior 2. Point out someone’s behavior to help them hear what they are really saying. “So what I hear you saying is all studentathletes don’t care about academics?” Appeal to Principles 3. Call on a person’s higher principles. “I’ve always thought you were fair-minded.” It shocks me to hear you say something so biased.” Set Limits – Draw a line 4. You can’t control others but you can make others aware of what you will not tolerate. “Don’t tell racist jokes or use that language in my presence anymore. If you do, I will leave.” Follow through if you make statements like this. Find an Ally/Be an Ally Seek out like-minded people and build strength in numbers. • These strategies from www.tolerance.org Consider Their Perspective • Imagine what the person is thinking/feeling • Imagine being in the situation • Imagine being the person • What would you want someone to do for you?

Did you consider how someone else might take it? • Do you think people sometimes discriminate more based on their perception that individuals had a choice in their condition as opposed to something that was out of their control? Scenario 1 You are hanging out with teammates and one of them makes a very insulting remark about someone’s alleged sexual orientation. They go on to sarcastically say that they won’t be rooming with that teammate on road trips. You find it inappropriate. What do you do? Scenario 2 You are enrolled in a class and know you will be missing quite a few times due to team travel. Your professor states that if there are any student-athletes in the class they should probably drop it because most likely they won’t pass. What do you do? Scenario 3 You are walking from your team locker room past another team’s locker room and you hear white players saying derogatory comments about a teammate while using the “N” word. What do you do?
