Classifying People By Color

Improved Essays
“Classifying people by color is very much like classifying cars by color. The classification tells you nothing about the hidden details of construction or about how the cars or people will perform.” (pg. 20) I really loved the metaphor the author used in the reading about judging others based upon their outward appearance. If one were to get to know a person, he or she should talk in order to see what’s on the inside. They may be surprised to find that the person is very different to how they imagined. No matter how open minded a person claim to be, everyone makes presumptions about others based on the first impressions. Everyone knows it’s not a right thing to do, but even I sometimes find myself making assumptions on a person’s attitudes,

It is important to note that the very communities that are growing are also the ones that are experiencing significant obstacles, disparities and discrimination.…

    The eyes can lie, they may miss things that are truly there or make things appear from nothing. Despite these mistakes we trust our vision completely, depending on it to determine the truth. Race, an important ‘truth’ in the 1920’s is often determined by sight, and can be quite fickle. People look for numerous traits that a person has to determine their race; traits that can easily be hidden, or have no truth to them at all, like ones finger nails, palms, ears, teeth or obviously skin colour (Larsen 8). Characters like Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield prove these assumptions of race false when they pass for being white, despite their African heritage, and that there must be instead other ways to dictating ones race.…

    Identifying with a certain race brings people to a place they can usually belong to; the people around them have the same general values and thoughts.

The narrator grows up with limited views about the African American social views. This leads the narrator to believe he can better the social views of the black man.…

    “Do not judge a book by the cover”: children have been told this for centuries, so why is it that adults do not abide by their own advice? Judging, or classifying, others based off of outward characteristics has been a problem throughout the world for centuries. Over time, things have begun to equal out socially for all races in the world, but out of habit humans still stereotype one another based off of looks, skin color, or social standing. These stereotypes have been shaped over time and have become intertwined into society. Classification tends to be a general indication of a certain type of person based off of other people’s opinions; however, this does not represent the entirety of those people with similar characteristics.…

    In both Drew Hayden Taylor’s “Pretty Like a White Boy” and W.D. Valgardson’s “Identities”, lives are defined or even destroyed by stereotypes. This passing of judgement is inescapable. It is rooted deep within ourselves and passed on from generation to generation. As with any idea, the longer they linger, the greater control it has over the mind; leading to actions based on what are now engrained thoughts. These two stories depict both protagonists’ lives influenced by stereotypes that have been lodged from the past.…
