I am a fifty eight year old white native American woman, and the middle child of three. I have an older sister, by fifteen months, and a brother who is three years younger than I am. I should probably mention that my dad was not around when I was born. My parents raised our family of five in Port Huron, Michigan. I am a member of the Baby Boomer generation. As an American, we traditionally are passionate about baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and lemonade, but being an American means much more…
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…
Whites, right? Stockbridge has taken a twist on the meaning ‘ghetto’. Fully 96% of the population of Stockbridge is of the same race: Caucasian (“A New Kind of Ghetto,” 2013). As an island, and a home estate, this is Britain’s most concentrated urban ethnic ghettos. A life in this ghetto is allowing freedom to some.…
Hispanic Americans, unlike other ethnic groups in America, "became the unintentional beneficiaries of international pressures on Hollywood which worked in their behalf" (Woll 1980:253). Hollywood wasn 't fair or kind to the Hispanic images that they portrayed on the screens. As suggested by…
about the other groups living amongst you. At some point, you question how do people of your common identity interact with each other and with outsiders of that community. Lately, I been questioning so; I am an Eritrean and both my parents are descendants of the Tigrinya tribe. Due to the recent events and tragedies happening amongst the Horn of Africa especially within Ethiopia and Somalia, I have been more drawn to investigate the relationship between the East African ethnic groups and tribes.…
if your living status is that of lower class then education seems like a far fetched dream. If in fact education is the key to success, why is it only made easily accessible to certain people? Education should be obtained equally regardless of your ethnic background or living situation. This privilege shouldn 't be diversified, and there are ways that can end the division. Education started in the 1700 's in the 13 colonies. Only White Americans were privileged to be able to go to schools…
We are stereotype as lazy people, dangerous, problematic, etc. Also, the immigration policies seem Mexicans immigrants as the largest ethnic group immigrating to the country. Unfortunately, we don’t have the same fate of other countries to enter ease to the United States. For example, Salvadorians are beneficiated with the TPS, which is a permit to reside legally in the country. However,…
often lead to social differences and conflicts between ethnic groups. The article, Communication of Respect in Interethnic Service Encounters, written by Benjamin Bailey (1997), covers the concept of respect between two different social groups; Koreans and African Americans. In addition, this…
The summers I’ve spent in Tonga were full of good, natural foods that were either picked locally or from one’s backyard. The ingredients used to make a delicious beverage called otai contains watermelon or mangoes, crushed pineapples, coconut, milk, water, and sugar. The combination of these different components made in Tonga gives a unique taste. However, otai made in Tonga differs to how it is made in America. The texture and sweetness of this beverage is different which makes it less…
