Racial Perception
When looking at the first chapter of The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, Alice is trying to make the cat see the looking glass using the same perception that Alice is using. The same thing can be seen when looking at how certain races will create their own perception for other races and then force them on the children of their own race. They will pass the perceptions from generation to generation this can cause people to have perceptions about different races like African Americans considered thieves and drug dealers, Mexicans are seen as orange pickers and fence hoppers, Whites are seen as though they do not have to work for anything in their lives and that everything is handed to them on a silver platter, and Asians are …show more content…
“parents prepare their children to navigate an increasingly diverse world. In particular, we focus much of our attention on the ethnic–racial socialization practices and beliefs of ethnic minority and majority groups, as this area of the field is currently the most expounded.” (Cabrera) Within this quote Cabrera and her colleagues explain that parents will prepare their children for the diverse societies that are around their children at that time. The parents will force their way of thinking and their way of doing things onto their children. “The complex nature of racial perception, and the importance of understanding how the growing population of multiracial individuals is perceived.” (Willadsen-Jensen) With this statement from Willadsen-Jensen and her colleague Tiffany A. Ito explain how racial perception is complex and how the growing rate of multiracial individuals adds change into the racial perception found into today's societies because the mixing of races causes new perceptions to change because two or more races are being brought into one individual so they are not one separate race they are a mix which causes multiple …show more content…

In situations where race isn't correlated with coalition, it ceases to be important. This, they claim, makes sense from an evolutionary perspective.” With this statement from BBC future, they state that the brain indicates more of the race of a person to remember. Researchers did tests of a person's memory where they had people look at images of people of different races wearing two different types of basketball jerseys. When asked to or call said people in the basketball jerseys the subjects only recalled their race rather than the basketball jersey or team that the others were on. This research shows how a person's brain indicates another's race before other
