Question

The Game Department · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Detecting whiteness in art involves recognizing and analyzing the ways in which white experiences and perspectives are centered in media and cultural productions. In this case, the absence of people of color and their experiences indicates a lack of diversity and inclusion in the representation of the typical American high school, which reinforces a narrow understanding of American identity and culture. This could be seen as a failure to accurately depict the American experience, and a form of systemic racism that perpetuates dominant cultural norms.
