Abstract

Generally American students of color abroad, may be assumed to be nationals of other countries due to their skin color. Something that is important is to assess the difference between curiosity and discrimination. Students may also experience microaggressions while abroad. You may have many opportunities to engage in conversation with classmates or new friends about your identity, including your experience as a student of a particular race, heritage or background.
