Race And Ethnicity In America

Improved Essays
Race and ethnicity in America is such an important issue in America, I am baffled by the lack of knowledge I had for the topic. I was always under the impression that race and ethnicity was the same thing, but I am embarrassed to say I was absolutely wrong. There is no biological evidence of race; it is a social construct that was created to dehumanize a group of individuals to make them feel “inferior” to the other group. The concept of race has been braided in our society so deep, that it plays a role in our everyday life. For example, if a black individual acts proper they will be considered to be acting “white” and if a white individual acts urban they will be considered to be acting “black”, but according to Ann Morning , “no

    Willis D. Hawley and Sonia Nieto Wrote an article “Another Inconvenient Truth: Race and Ethnicity Matter” that looks into the problem that race and ethnic backgrounds cause in modern life. They use 4 main writing strategies in their article; Take on the Big Concepts, Call Out the Quiet Argument, Break Down Your Reasons, and Support Your Reasons. Hawley and Nieto take on the big concept by stating that there are “shameful differences in the academic outcomes and graduation rates of students of color compared too many Asian and white students” (Hawley and Nieto 1). They also shed some light on conflict by stating, “Being more conscious of race and ethnicity is not discriminatory; it’s realistic” (Hawley and Nieto 1).…

    The question “What is diversity?” is a very difficult to answer. One could argue that there are multiple correct answers, and no wrong ones. A simpleminded person may argue it’s a simple distinction between white and black. When a sociologist defines diversity, they would have many many different ways to define it. A few they must incorporate into their definition are: culture, race, and socioeconomic status.…

    Chapter five in The Color of Justice: Race, Ethnicity, an Crime in America by Samuel Walker, Cassia Spohn, and Miriam Delone (2012) summarized how the court system makes decision based on someone’s race. In the beginning of the book it stated that, “In 2009 the incarceration rate for African American males in state and federal prisons was 6.7 times the rate for whites” (Pp. 2). On page 60, it talks about the general perception of a person who is incarcerated is typically thought of as being African American. Again in chapter two it states, “In the minds of many Americans, the term “crime” conjures up an image of an act of violence against a white victim by an African American offender” (Pp. 73). Maybe there is a chance that these views from the general public has had a greater influence on the incarceration rate of minorities.…

    Race has played a central role in America since the very beginning. Since the moment we first arrived in America we held the mental statement that the white race was the superior race. The first race to feel oppression from the white man were the Native Americans that presided in these lands before us. Since then we have managed to use those who were brought over/ immigrated here for our own personal gain and yet mistreat them. African Americans, in my opinion, endured the most oppression for the longest period of time.…

    Media creates meaning about race and ethnicity, and plays an important role in shaping the way we understand race as part of our identity, our history, our social institutions, and our everyday lives. Often used interchangeably, race is a way of classifying individuals and groups on the basis of physical characteristics, particularly one’s skin color. Ethnicity delineates one’s place of origin or nationality, one’s cultural background or ancestry, one’s language and by extension, one’s belief system. Race has been a big topic in the past year, mostly centered on interactions between police and African-American communities. A police officer's first order of business is to serve and protect.…

    As a sociologist in training, I have observed that race and ethnicity is what most people look at in a person they are dating or marrying. For example, a filipino person wants to date or marry another filipino. there are also some other preferences such as age, height, body type, and intelligence or education level but for some people it does not really matter. It may be because of the person’s personality. Chow’s , Lee and Bean’s and Feliciano’s readings prove that racial preference is highest preference for some people.…
