White American

with this test. I took Asian IAT, Sexualty IAT, Gender-Science, IAT, and Gender-Career IAT. I took the Asians IAT because I wanted to see how my Asian race and my childhood played in my implicit bias, I was raised in a dominant white family, and I grew up in a dominant white neighborhood. I wonder if that played an…

believe that America must answer to its moral debt to African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and other groups of color that have suffered due to institutional racism. I think Ta-Nehisi Coates is not demanding that a certain sum of tax dollars is giving to the African American people, instead he argues that the idea of reparations it’s what’s important. It seems as if Americans are unaware of the history and the role that white supremacy and oppression has played. He argues that we need to…

Evidence depicts a recursive set of disparities among the education field that prevent educational equity for all students across race, undermining the capability of students through standardized test scores, and social stance.

whitewashing. Whitewashing is when a character of color is portrayed by a Caucasian person instead. One of the most famous instances of whitewashing was in 1961 in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The Japanese character Mr. Yunioshi was portrayed by the white actor Mickey Rooney, complete with horrifyingly buck teeth, yellowed skin, pinched eyes, and an offensive accent.

construct in understanding a critical race philosophical approach to education. Ladson-Billings and Tate (2016) argue that slavery joined the privilege of Whites to the subjection of Blacks through a legal authority that tried the progress of Blacks into objects of property.

Antebellum America is the oppression of minorities and by reducing them to stereotypes and stock characters in print media and entertainment, the white male could help keep the minorities oppressed and negatively…

Race is what forms a division between people which can cause the problem of discrimination. Racism is an issue that we deal with today and the past that few people are aware about. There are many examples of how it is still present in our current society. One example is in our current president Trump. This is evident when Donald Trump advertised his campaign for president. He stated, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of…

I do believe there is such a thing as white privilege. As a caucasian, I may have benefited without realizing it. It may have been by someone who discriminates but did not against me because of the color of my skin and maybe someone else of a different race came up to that same person with the same manners as me, but that person treated them differently. With that being said though, that does not mean it doesn’t go the others ways as well. White people are most certainly not the only ones who…

has led many to forget the racial tension prevalent in America. Neil Irwin’s “America’s Racial Divide, Charted” highlights the many aspects in which African American men and women are underrepresented across the board. Irwin takes a look at the health, wealth and education disparity of African American’s in comparison to Caucasian Americans. A desk, a chair, a competent teacher standing at the front of the classroom poised to feed her eager student the knowledge that will make them more…
