Being in a biracial family is something I had never expected to happen. Growing up in a stereotypical Asian family, I was always taught to be conservative in our behavior, never be out walking alone, and to be cautious of the poor, Black homeless people who are often hanging around the slummy alleyways of downtown Los Angeles eying random passersby with either a gloomy, defeated look in their eyes or a hard, uncomfortable stare. As a result, I grew up to become a very cautious and reserved…

There are many racial, religious and social status stereotypes that need to be addressed. Although society might judge people by stereotypes, it may harm them more than what they think it will hurt. There are many racial prejudices that exist in American society, both historically and in modern times. In the book, To Kill A Mockingbird Mr. Gilmer asks “What’d the nigger look like when you got through with him?” (Lee 266). This is considered racist because Mr. Gilmer just calls Tom Robinson a…

instead finds himself turned on by African Americans and racial violence in the jailhouse. In his depiction of the white sheriff, Baldwin uses his unique perspective as a black homosexual man facing persecution in the 1960s in which he writes to attempt to make sense of what could motivate racial terrorism. In this paper, I will argue that Baldwin uses vivid, explicit sexual language to argue that racism often stems from the fetishisation of African Americans and is frequently a behavior learned…

The forty-fourth president of the United States, Barack Obama, once stated, “Let us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united in common values, and that includes belief in equality” (BrainyQuote 1). Obama states the common American ideals regarding freedom as well as equality. Over a century ago, Mark Twain taught similar morals in his novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Regardless of its promotion of childish behaviors, Huck Finn exhibits morals through accepting all…

the racist police officer loved his dad and wanted to take care of him because he was very ill. A example of hate is when the Christine had got in a car accident. The racist police officer was there to save her but she wanted to die instead of the police officer that sexual assaulted her to help because she hated him that much. Also native vs. immigrant was shown in this film. One example of this was when the owner of the gun store disrespected Dorri and her dad because he thought they family…

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a wise man that impacted millions of Americans’ into racial equalities. As you’re reading the letter, you can automatically understand whom the letter is being addressed to. In the Letter From Birmingham City Jail, Dr. King was clearly addressing 8 ministers, a rabbi, and another audience. I believe there are a lot of secondary audiences in the Letter From Birmingham City, but the one I saw the most were for the whites. The whites were the ones who controlled…
