The cultural group that I choose to investigate is the Ainu people. The Ainu were the original indigenous group of Japan, specifically northern Japan. However, they are now primarily inhabiting the island of Hokkaido. They have had to fight to maintain their culture as the Japanese government has been attempting to assimilate them.“So Ainu (culture) is on the verge of collapse”(Schorow). According to the textbook colonization is “the more or less organized system of occupation and exploitation…

What if you wake up feeling like a boss, on top of the world, so powerful that nothing can destroy you? Nikki Giovanni was a black female born in Ohio. She visited Africa in 1972, the year Ego Tripping was published. That same year was when many civilizations were finding their origins. Giovanni celebrates being a black female with a huge ego during that time, so big that she seems to be tripping over it. In “Ego Tripping.” Nikki Giovanni uses allusion, simile, metaphor and symbolism to show…

automatic preference for White people over Black people. From this test, I learn that I might have a racist tendency toward African Americans over European Americans. This might not be a surprise because all human beings have some kind stereotype or racist tendency toward a particularly group of race or culture. Racism exists for many racial and ethnic groups. Especially for me, I resided in a neighborhood that consists of mix races of Africans American and Europeans Americans. I might have more…

He’s appropriately terms this phenomenon as “the adventure gap.” This disparity becomes more and more evident, as studies by the Outdoor Foundation conclusively prove that participation in outdoor recreation is much lower among Hispanic and African-American populations compared to Caucasians across all ages and incomes. For Mills, this is largely due to the lasting effects of a history of racial discrimination and past legislation – not necessarily a conclusion based on scientific data. Yet,…

color of people range from light white to dark black and different shades of these colors within each color. Although there is beauty in these difference there also comes hatred, racism and a division of what colors are inherently good and which are bad. For hundreds of years it has been engraved in the American mentality that dark skinned people are less than those that are light skinned. From 1619 to 1865 black people were mere objects to whites. Enslaved to the white people because they were…

we have come a long way from slavery and things such as the Ku Klux Klan, we still face racial issues and tension today. African Americans today feel so strongly about the problem that some started a movement called “Black Lives Matter” in July of 2013 as a result of the George Zimmerman case. George Zimmerman was a Caucasian male who shot and killed an African American teen, Trayvon Martin, whom was committing no crimes at the time. Zimmerman was oddly found not guilty even after confessing to…

a movement of appeared equality. How is it then, with this appeared movement of equality, that the United States penal system has become so overwhelmed and disproportioned in the representation of its races? Racial disparities between Non-Hispanic Whites, Non-Hispanic Blacks, and Hispanics, within the penal system, have become increasingly more concerning. A study of empirical research of prosecution, conviction, and sentencing…

blacks versus whites. Our culture still struggles today with the inclusivity of african americans. Although a vast majority of the people in our country have very conservative views on ethnicities, what they do not realize is that our ethnicities actually give us the ability to spread diversity as well as cultural views throughout our communities. The United States is well aware of the tension that occurred over the 2016 presidential election. Within the opposing candidates Americans…

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…
