Ethnicity Discrimination

Decent Essays
The situation showed me how simple minded people can be. As a manager who worked for Wal-Mart over 50 plus years and showed poor judgment with his words while being bias, showed his lack of professionalism. Race or color should NEVER be brought up in the workplace.
The letter “E” in REGARDS represents ethnicity. Race discrimination and ethnicity discrimination are very similar. People also tend to discriminate towards a person’s ethnicity. A perfect example of ethnicity discrimination would be the situation that happen October 9, 2015 on the television show “The View,” which made headlines on social media when co-host, Raven Symone’ made a controversial comment towards the topic of discussion called, “Are You Judged by Your Name?”Then they

    The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a United States federal law put in place to have men and women get paid equally not taking into consideration what the person gender is. To name a few of what both employees of the different sex will have equal will be bonuses, vacation, and holiday pay, salary and other benefits. John F. Kennedy is the president to sign off on this law on June 10, 1963. In 1943, men started to fear women getting paid less than they were. Men thought since women got paid less that they would replace them in the work field because of pay minimum wage.…

    In Makarechi’s article “What the Data Really Says About Police and Racial Bias.” he states that although there is not a ton of competent data of fatal police shootings, there is still a wealth of academic research, official and media investigations, and court rulings on the specific topic of race and police officers. The Hive had collected 18 statistics of the such to reveal the evidence we do have. All together, the research gives an idea of a nation where a person’s race can affect the encounters he/she has with a law enforcement officer. It is found in an analysis by the Washington Post that colored americans who are fatally shot by law enforcement are less likely to be posing any lethal threat to the officers than their white counterparts.…

    Discrimination towards Hispanics is so big that there are at least 130 American towns and cities that prohibits the hiring of unauthorized day laborers, making it illegal to even rent houses for them to live in and they criminalized the public use of languages other than English knowing that English is their second language, if they even speak English (National Park Service, 1). To show how much America wants to cease the immigrant flow to the United States, immigration enforcement takes up half the nation's law enforcement budget and the border patrol personnel has doubled since 2004 (Porter 1). One of the most inhumane unimaginable things happened to a Hispanic in 1948, when a Latino soldier - Felix Z. Longoria was killed in action. Longoria…

    No Hispanic group has contributed more to the nation’s [US] prosperity than Mexicans, yet none makes white America more uneasy about the future (Gonzalez, 2011, p. 96). Mexico is at the core of our country’s Latin heritage and every 2 in 3 Latinos in America are Mexican. But, how did Mexicans get to the discrimination that they are suffering today? In this paper, I will show the violence Mexicans endured following the U.S.-Mexico War, and the many Mexicans groups who were fighting back against their Anglo counterparts, and the Mexican groups who are still fighting the “war” today.…

    Hispanics are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. According to data published by the Pew Research Center (Hispanic Population Trends Project 2014), Hispanics account for about 17% of the U.S. population and they are expected to surpass Whites by 2050. Similar to the immigrant groups at the turn of the 20th century, a large number of adult Hispanics are foreign born, do not speak standard American English (41%), and must go through the acculturation process to merge into society1. Hispanics have long experienced racialized discrimination and segregation in the United States. Hispanics are the second most segregated group following African Americans2.…

    The complex and often bigoted history of the United States earned the nation considerable amounts of respect and success that numerous other countries have been attempting to earn for decades. However, one cannot ignore the many troubling times that America and its inhabitants encountered before earning such a venerated title. As Franklin D. Roosevelt stated, “Remember, remember always that all Of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists” (Roosevelt). This is a concept that Americans often have to be reminded about when they demonstrate acts of discrimination against immigrants. Amongst the most disturbed groups of American occupants are Chicanos and Chicanas, or “…American[s]… of Mexican descent” (“Chicano”).…

    Immigrants leave their native country in search for a better life and opportunities for themselves and their children. Many of these immigrants escape from poverty, violence, and war but still continue to face discrimination and difficulties. I learned that the government prevented ethnic minority groups from gaining a proper education and equal opportunity based on racial identity. For example, the Chinese in Canada struggled for over 100 years before the country granted them equal rights such as voting. The early Chinese settlers could have benefitted the Canadian economy and society through higher education and learning the language Chinese Americans, and Chinese Canadians were treated very similar in their host country.…

    Viewing these clips shows me how far man has gone to keep us separated. Originally ,I thought that the word “Race” means people that are similar physically, socially and culturally. It seems we have been sold a bag of goods, an illusion on race, that genes define our race,and that we attribute people performances and behavior to their race, which is never true. Those in power have always try to use biology as an excuse for social differences, and try to justify with science how superior a race are to others. According to the clip the average difference among all humans is very small,so the concept of race is a cultural idea,race is not biological and it has nothing to do with our genes.…

    White Skin Discrimination

    In a country as developed as the United States, it has become evident that some people are given an unfair advantage simply because of the color of their skin. As mentioned by Bill Culwell, racism is a very sensitive topic that can often lead to one feeling defensive (Lecture 6, pg.1). Following the many recent events including black teens dying by the hands of white officers, the topic of white privilege has become widely spoken of in the community. The increased awareness wasn’t due to the incidents themselves, but rather the aftermath that saw these white officers be found innocent of a crime they committed. Conley stated “these days, any brown-skinned man with a beard or woman with a headscarf is subject to threats, violence, and harassment.”…

    Immigrant Discrimination

    After the Immigration Act of 1924 was passed, which limited the annual number of immigrants under the quota system, the number of immigrants was drastically reduced. However, the number of emigrants began to increase again from 1945 and rose sharply after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was passed, which abolished quota system. Some groups of immigrants had similar circumstances and reasons with the emigrants who came to the U.S. during the period from the late 19th century and the early 20th century, but highly educated and skilled people also immigrated to the U.S. Like this, different context and historical events caused new kinds of immigration and new types of people to emigrate. Many American soldiers married foreign women during World War II, so…

    Gender and racial discrimination against women of color is, and has been, an ongoing concern since the day a woman of color received her first ever paycheck; unfortunately, it is so deeply rooted within the stitchings of our social fabric that it just does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Aside from the common understanding that “women of all races and ethnicities working full-time,” earning only “78 percent of what men earn” (Fisher 2015), the discrepancy seen within wages of women of color versus white, non-hispanic men is even more horrendous. A study done by the American Association of University Women in September of 2014 revealed the approximate wage gap that falls within the wages of women of various races and ethnicities, and white males. The average African-American woman would make about 64 percent of that of a white man’s wage, and even more so, an average Hispanic or Latino woman makes merely 54 percent (Fisher 2015).…
