his given name, Rafael, and using an American “white” name, Ted, Cruz has already shown that he does not want to be seen in the public eyes as a minority. In the ad, by affirming his stance against immigration, and by releasing this ad in Arizona, a state known for its negative views toward undocumented immigrants, Cruz is further distancing himself from his Latino roots and grounding himself into the “white Republican” demographic.

Through oppression, slavery, and conquest, race as a powerful social category was forged historically. Most geneticists agree that racial taxonomies at the DNA level are invalid.

Race" and "ethnicity" are compound terms which are often used conversely. The terms were divided to label “race” as a biological quality and “ethnicity” as…

Feminist When I log onto my Twitter account, my timeline is quickly plagued with quotes such as “Twitter feminist are just bitter lonely women, who loathe life and men”. Statements like these led me to believe that people are confused on what feminism is, and what feminism does for our culture. A feminist is a person, male or female, who believes in the political, social, and economic equality of the sexes.

the Nuer with their language, culture, resources, education, and environment (Holtzman 2008: 10). Holtzman was intrigued with the notion of the Nuer immigrating to the United States as he could not fathom the idea of the Samburu leaving their country with the contrast of rural life in East Africa to that of life in the United States.

Sweet Land of Uncertainty: What is America? The United States of America certainly does not have “streets paved with gold”. Though this was how it was first described to attract hopeful refugees and adventurers, we have since learned that, in some respects, this country’s actual state is far different from what it was hoped to be. “Land of the free!”, its people chant, as they brush off those who cry at injustice. “Home of the brave!”, others exclaim, as they cower in the shadows of privilege…

raindrops steadily progress into a caustic storm that thoroughly soaks the “deepest part” (128), causing Zinedine Zidane to react in the last two minutes of the World Cup. While de jure racial segregation might have ended 61 years ago, when the United States Supreme Court made its ruling on Brown V. Board of Education, racial segregation and inequality continues to silently live on in America’s Urban Educational system. According to the Department of Education, de facto racial segregation is…
