 Intersectionality is bigger than just simply where you're from, it's about taking all types of differences and realizing that there's more than just what you can see from the outside in people. Chavez writes that intersectionality can "reveal" how "generic" categories when it comes to identity may lead to very "simple understandings" of one's demographic. (pg. 5) For example, a lot of white male's are seen as "the worker" in society which can lead to a very unpleasant understanding when it may come to a female that is a person of color who also may be bi-sexual. It seems as if there is a disadvantage in this way of shape. One thing I would say intersectionality does is it takes people's social and political identities and combines them to create privilege or even discrimination.

From this, there's a lot of incivility when it comes to intersectionality. As I wake up everyday in society I see a lot of discrimination, that discrimination doesn't always have to be constant name calling and hate. Discrimination can come from the best hearted of people, maybe by sheltering someone, possibly by not understanding your privilege when it comes to certain demographics in our country/world. Intersectionality is the incivility in the analysis of other people's social and political identities. As Chavez states, when "worker" is seen as a demographic of "white male cultural groups" it eliminates the "complexity of the cultural and economic struggle" and this is where you see the discrimination happening even if these people have good intentions. (pg. 5) Incivility can be found anywhere and it's important that we acknowledge when we see it because that can eventually lead to more opportunities to a wider spectrum of candidates.
