“Race, we will see, has been a social construction that has historically set apart racial minorities from European immigrant groups” (Takaki, 71). This quote is a great example of how being a different race separates you from being equal to being equal to white people. In Rosewood, when the white men found out that Jon Wright sold ammo to the black…

There are so many factors involved that causes minorities to be disproportionately affected by criminal justice system. While racism is the root cause of most the disparities minorities face, it has become so normalize that it has become a part of our daily lives to the point where it is not viewed as racism, but just the way things are. If we look at where the criminal justice system really began to take off, you will see it was around the time when slavery ended. Drastic laws where set…

Minorities have always been represented poorly in television. Typically, in television shows, the main roles are dominated by the white male. We usually do not see the main characters played by minorities or women. If we do indeed see a minority is a show, the role that they play is typically a small stereotypical role based on their race. For example, in many shows we see Indians that play doctors, cab drivers or even shop owners, which is very stereotypical in society today. Also, we typically…

officers and minority groups. A common minority group that is often targeted by the police is the Blacks. Some police are abusing their power by racially targeting a majority of black victims. The Black community is harassed or harmed by unjustified police officers. This has continually become a topic of controversy because black people are not treated fairly and are targeted more compared to other ethnicities. Police are racially profiling people due to the stereotypes of a minority group, the…

Provide academic support and enrichment to improve academic performance 4.…

program is reparations based, then we must assume the program should end once the value of the affirmative action equals the damages from discrimination. This requires us to determine when affirmative action takes place – that is to determine when a minority receives preferential treatment due to affirmative action as opposed to without it.

Power over the minorities “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”Throughout my semester at SIU i have encountered many things both positive and negative, but something that I will always remember from my experience here is mainly the racists actions that have taken place on and off campus. A few weeks ago i was walking to my Zoology class and as i was walking i noticed an abundant amount of things written on the…

Comparatively to the majority population, the minorities would have separate bathrooms, separate drinking fountains, separate schools, there was very little that the majority and minorities would have together. In some cases this might not be so bad, but in this case, everything that was granted to the minorities was incredibly inferior (especially in comparison to what the majorities got). Due to this and the fact that the law was completely against them, the minorities set out to start the…
