A member of the dominant culture who works to reduce his or her own internalized prejudice and becomes a cultural ally is referred to as ________.

• A. Anti-Racist
• B. Freewheeling
• C. Powerless
• D. Malleable

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that this describes active allyship and anti-racism within the dominant culture. An anti-racist is someone who not only recognizes racism but also works to reduce their own internalized prejudice and uses their social position to support and advance racial justice. This goes beyond simply not being racist; it involves ongoing reflection, action, and commitment to change both attitudes and systems, which is what it means to become a cultural ally. The other terms don’t fit because they don’t capture this intentional, justice-driven stance: freewheeling implies a carefree or unstructured approach; powerless contradicts the idea of someone from the dominant culture who has influence; malleable describes susceptibility to influence, not a proactive stance against prejudice.
