When it comes to comparing African Americans and Native Americans, there are many similarities and differences between two racial minorities. Something that can be similar and different is the food. Native Americans eat corn, squash, beans, meat, and much more. African Americans, on the other hand, eat the same foods, but they also eat a kind of food called soul food. According to Johnnetta B. Cole, her grandma would often times make “…biscuits, bacon and ham from their smoke house, homemade…

been fair for certain ethnic groups. Whites have always been stereotyped as the “dominant” race over the years. Many different minorities were encouraged to migrate to the United States to work.

There are complaints about fairness at work, the payment minorities receive, welfare, etc. Klein, the co-chair of the Kapor Center for Social Impact, states that managers who are white,…

There has been a discussion over the process of admission to college in the past decade. Colleges for a long time have had a lack of diversity on their campuses. Diversity can be defined as people coming together from different races, nationalities, religions and sexes to form a group, organization or community.

Today’s society has placed plenty of stereotypes upon Asian Americans. Labeling them as the model minority, assuming that all Asian Americans are intelligent by nature, seems to be the most common (Szu 2003). These stereotypes have been negatively affecting the growing population of Asian Americans in the school systems, as they are leading to teacher bias. Bias in the classroom can cause teachers to view all their Asian American students as intelligent and assume they are receiving academic…

From experience, I find find myself more comfortable when I see other minorities in the classes. This is because when you feel more welcomed and you have a sense of belonging since you know that at least one other person in the class looks like you. Having a diverse classroom leads to more enhanced conversations. For example…

hold fundamental views on this subject, people that believe that whites are better than blacks and that men are better than women. Regardless of our improvements as a society we still live in a world of inequalities and discrimination towards the “minorities”. I really like how in this article they explained how the dominant group in real life blacks or men are the ones who decide what is normal, what are the rules and even the way the subordinates (blacks & women) should act.

to implement a law that bans people of entering the country the federal courts denied it, which he expressed his frustration about through his tweets. Gradstein and Schiff (2006) who examine the dynamics of minority exclusion establish the disparities in the lives of racial and ethnic minorities.
