Ethnic Germans

personal experience of surviving the ruthless war and ethnic cleansing that broke out in his Eastern European hometown of Brcko at the young age of eleven. Not only did he have to watch his hometown get blown to nothing and constantly stress about the survival of his family, he was a young boy whose friends and teammates had turned against him.

I want to complete college. Despite all the many possible goals and dreams that the majority desire to fulfill, I aspire to finish college in the appropriate amount of time. Although my goal is relatively simple, the journey to succeed can be overall difficult and challenging. Some obstacles that lie ahead for me are due to race. Race itself is controversial because it subtly generalizes everyone and categorizes the human population by privileges and by deciding who is the subordinate or the…

as: White American’s who have experience with prejudice, and ethnic minorities’ experiences with prejudice. People who have experiences with prejudice do not think of them as a potential target group; however, when they experience the blatant prejudice, those people will be harder to accept the fact. On the other hand, ethnic minorities’ experience with prejudice will consider themselves as a target group for racial acts. These ethnic groups who have experience with prejudice would go to get a…

First, white civil servants conducted semi-diplomatic relations with Native American delegates, offering American material goods to exact payments of vast territory that would ameliorate the inconvenient differences between white and native social structures. Secondly, indigenous translators humored white functionaries to gain prestige and influence through translation by preserving indigenous linguistic traditions.

Furthermore, through TASS I can also gain meaningful knowledge on the history of ethnic backgrounds in the United States.

2. Share why it touched your heart and mind. This passage touched my heart and mind because as an immigrant it is difficult to hear how they labeled immigrants depending on what ethnicity they were. Their ethnicity depended on who was going to get a job and what job they would do and many of them hated each other because they were competing against each other and it all depended on what race they were. Many immigrants were against each other and talked down to each other using derogatory words…

Coming Together To Make A Change As I read “Black Men and Public Space” by Brent Staples, I couldn’t help but think of how many people are fighting and protesting against the leading republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump. While Trump’s target is the Mexican immigrant, it directly affects all foreign and colored people of America.

Statement of intent: I am going to argue that racism is an ongoing cycle that is preventing us from progressing and developing our world. Everyday we look around us at the many faces, yet all we see is multiple races. No matter if you are tall short or thin, you are judged on the pigment of your skin. We have become a nation built upon discrimination, where we are all victims to our own species. Our very own spirits and souls have been manipulated into believing that all of mankind is made…
