Question 1
Question Type: True/False
Question: The journey to becoming a competent culturally sensitive counselor in working with
diverse populations is not complex as humans have innate characteristics that are relatively
consistent across cultures with similar hopes and dreams that mark their humanness.
Answer: False
Solution: According to the authors, becoming culturally competent in working with diverse
populations is a complex interaction of many dimensions that involves broad theoretical,
conceptual, research, and practice issues. Moreover, the journey will be filled with obstacles
to self-exploration, to understanding yourself as a racial/cultural being, and to understanding
the worldview of those who differ from you in race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and
other sociodemographic characteristics. The subject matter in this book and course requires
the reader to explore biases and prejudices, a task that often evokes defensiveness and
resistance.

Question 6
Question Type: Multiple Selection
Question: According to Kiselica (1999, as cited in Sue 8th edition), White psychologists avoid
topics of race because
a. It may reveal their own prejudices and biases
b. They are racked with guilt over the way people of color have been treated
c. They are fearful of being labeled a racist or blamed for the oppression
d. a and c
only Answer: a, b,
c
Solution: Kiselica, a White psychologist who addresses his own ethnocentrism and racism,
contends that these topics (ethnocentrism and racism) are subjects that most Whites tend to
avoid. He adds that most shy away from discussing these issues for many reasons. He posits
that Whites are racked with guilt over the way people of color have been treated in our nation.
Whites fear that they will be accused of mistreating others, and particularly fear being called
the ―R‖ word—racist. Many grow uneasy whenever issues of race emerge. Whites tend to
back away,
change the subject, respond defensively, assert their innocence and ―color blindness,‖ and
deny that they could possibly be ethnocentric or racist. (Kiselica, 1999, as cited in Sue 8th
edition).
