While they can work and empathize with others from racial groups other than white, they still deny other cultures and ethnicities.

unintentional discrimination that is said. People are quick to make assumptions about certain groups. They do not always realize what they are saying. It tends to be simple ignorance. This of course is not an excuse. At Lee, I do see that whatever ethnic group we have tended stay together. It becomes almost a base of sorts. I do not think this is any form of discrimination.

Rodriguez recalls her childhood memories in Latino-American community, when she learned about “clues” referring to racial differences and classifications.

holding a higher median household income, $66,000, compared to the general population’s $49,800 (Pew Research Center). With a rise in Asian immigrants and the Asian American populace as a whole and how they are projected to be the largest minority group by 2055 (Cepeda), the U.S. economy seems to have a bright future ahead. However, the well-known fallacy of stereotypes is that they have their exceptions and also that statistics sometimes can be framed to skew the situation. Hunger and…
