Most of the participants stated that they had observed no differences. However, there was one participant that had observed some inequities of other ethnic groups by their administrator. P7 was one of the participants that felt her principal treats her just like all of the other teachers by stating, “I have not encountered such. My administrator has always treated me the same as my non-African American counterparts.” P1 was very to the point, with no elaboration on the subject, “No.” P2…
traditions of a particular group of people. Racism and ethnicity exist in quite blatant and subtle forms. They usually lead to negative consequences for the group that does not belong to the dominant culture. The contemporary…
My ethnic groups are Maasai from Kenya and Zulu from South Africa. Maasai is the smallest ethnic group in Kenya, they make up only 0.7% of the population, but they are the most well-known tribe in Kenya.

In the western world, we are blessed with these options from (due to) the mass immigrations in past generations and the hybrid cuisines of new people coming in today. Although immigration has allowed us to be introduced to foreign cuisine, the…
first season of F is for Family, I observed how it portrayed race, ethnicity, and class. The show has some interesting ways of how it portrays these races, ethnicity, and class. The course terms I used from chapter 9 were race, dominant ethnic group, minority groups, prejudice, segregated, and stereotypes. Course terms I used from chapter 10 were sex, gender, masculinity, femininity, sexism, and feminism. I concluded that this sitcom somewhat accurately portrays how people treated people based…

Having this issue is a problem because this alienates certain women from ever having an ideal family lifestyle. People are exposed to different types of oppression due…
government inaction allows other crimes to be committed against them. When a civilian kills a civilian, it is a crime. When law enforcement murders a civilian, it is justified. In the end, racial profiling is plain racism, a way to characterize a group of people by their skin and not their…
China’s ethnic composition is much homogeneous with 91.9% of population being Han peoples, other ethnicities are Hui, Mongols, Zhuang, Miao, Tibetans and Uyghurs.

They are less distinguishable from Han people, especially a growing number of ethnic minorities are fluent at a native level in Mandarin Chinese. In…
