Sarah Wisniewski Ms. Schlossberg English II Honors, Period 5 20 January 2017 The Fight for Adoption: DeBoer v. Snyder Through the history of the United States, with an unfortunate pattern, discrimination has been a part of the progress and obstacles overcome for issues including race, gender, sexual orientation and more. In the cases of DeBoer v. Snyder and Obergefell v. Hodges, discrimination came in the form of a lack of basic rights for people of the homosexual identity. In both cases,…

Many young adults, specifically teenagers, face several hardships when wanting to enter a racially mixed relationship. Studies were done in the article, “College Student Experiences with Diversity” and throughout, negative results came out of family acceptance of interracial friendships and romantic relationships (Mills 351). Parents ask the race of the male/female you are interested in and as soon as you name an opposing race of your own, the hateful thoughts begin to form in the elder…

Racism is not a good subject. It is like bulling and try to feel what the person on the receiving end feels like. This is a problem that continues out through the years even trying to disable it people don’t care. What is racism? It's when people hate each other because of what they look like. People harass each other because of that one stupid reason. People trespass and bother people when they want peace or just to be left alone. Some people just don’t get why people document and bother…

Selection is the social, passionate, and legitimate process in which kids who won't be raised by their introduction to the world guardians turn out to be full and perpetual lawful individuals from another family while keeping up hereditary and at times mental associations with their introduction to the world family (www.childwelfare.gov). Transracial appropriation, or receiving outside one's own particular race, has turned out to be predominant in the present society, particularly among…

Racism has been an issue within society for many years. Many different races have had to deal with discrimination because of the color of their skin. However, racism is not always the same. When people think about the topic of racism, many people only think about interracial discrimination and do not think about intraracial discrimination. Both types of racism, interracial and intraracial, are discussed within “”FOBs vs. “Twinkies” : The New Discrimination is Intraracial” by Grace Hsiang, and…

In the short stories, “The Long Way Home” and “How to date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or a Halfie”, races and homosexuality tremendously affect society in different ways. Both of these stories are very different but have similar relations to dating, one of races, and the second of gender and physical attributes of a homosexual. We live in a world where we get judged by every move we make, stereotypes seem acceptable, and where we will always be compared to the next person. In this…

advantage of due to various factors such as race. Communities may say that inequality was abolished long ago, however, the truth is that inequality is still here. Leaders, assorted articles, and various events in recent history have come to prove this anti diverse world. They share their anger, their thoughts, and their fears of racial inequality, hoping that one day it will soon change however, it hasn’t. Massive amounts of citizens do not understand why we would STILL have something as…

The “Angry Black women” is a term that black women across america have been hearing since arriving in America. Cited in “The Angry Black Woman: The Impact Of Pejorative Stereotypes On Psychotherapy With Black Women” by Ashley, Wendy. Ashley states “The “angry Black woman” mythology presumes all Black women to be irate, irrational, hostile, and negative despite the circumstances.” Now through my research, I’ve to notice a pattern in that black women are always shown as aggressive, angry, and just…

After reading the stage play “For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf,” by Ntozake Shange and watching the film by Tyler Perry I will discuss relationships. Relationships during the present time are what I feel need the most focus. Relationships between a man and a woman as well as relationships between women ( African-American) and how they treat each other depending on their social class was just ridiculous. In both the movie and the stage play the lady in Green…

Have you ever blended a chicken Top Ramen flavoring packet into your strawberry smoothie? Do you cut your vegetables with a straw? Just as a chicken, strawberry smoothie is appalling and using a straw as a knife is unacceptable, so was the racial mixing of Nella Larsen’s white mother and black father in the late 1800s. Growing up as a biracial woman during a time of black discrimination from whites, she could never find her place in the world. She never belonged to the persecuted blacks or the…
