Color terminology for race

entirely. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, American behavioral scientist, published The Structure of Racism in Color-Blind, “Post-Racial” America in 2015 to “describe the lacking racial order of America in the post–Civil Rights era” (Bonilla-Silva 1359). Bonilla-Silva simply puts that the when the Jim Crows were revoked in the late 1960’s that didn’t mark the “end of racism” or even the “declining significance of race” by any means.

different, everyone was welcoming and we did not see race or ethnicity among people. At a young age, I gained knowledge about my ethnicity and background, because my Caribbean culture was always instilled in me through various cultural activities.

My first earliest encounter with an event that surrounds race and ethnicity was when I started…

evaluation of many essays talking about whiteness and the power of privilege, I was able to identify and defined the word privilege and the invisibility veil covering my eyes as a white man.

Analyzing these materials and author’s perspectives, I came to the conclusion that racial…

“Cultural Capital and Critical Race Theory” was an article written by Tara J. Yosso and found in JSTOR’s database. The introduction begins with an appealing epigraph citing Gloria Anzaldúa’s work on including people of color in academic theory. Anzaldúa asserts people of color have been excluded from certain areas of academia and it is important to “not allow white men and women solely to occupy it” (qtd. in Yosso 69). Inclusion in these spaces are vital, Anzaldúa notes, because by “bringing in…

Marriages are mandatory within a caste, education is based on the caste, occupation is strongly determined by caste, and mobility is impossible. The United States class system is mobile, marriages are mobile, education obtainable, and the structure of the class is determined by various factors with complete mobility to move within other classes.…

employment. Or does it? A vast portion of our lives in Canada is spent working, and regardless of the work environment, we interact with other people who may or may not come from the same backgrounds and ideologies as we do. With no specific terminology in the Charter that includes employment law, we must look between the lines and find the connections that lay within.
