Land”, it quickly became clear that her argument was that South Asians have been facing being “others” in Canada even if this was their home country. She shows this “other-ing” all through history up until today. Through looking at comments made by white, Anglo-Canadians, to the stereotypes South Asians have, and the questions asked, such as “where are you really from?” it is clear that South Asians have indeed been others in their own land. I was able to relate to many of the issues mentioned…

The protagonist of the story is a white hunter named Hawkeye; he shows superior knowledge about the natives, their home, and he also shows the ability to break racial barriers. Hawkeye states that he is only white and has no Native American blood even though he is great friends with the Mohicans, Chingachgook and Uncas. Since there are large culture and lifestyle differences between the whites and Native Americans a barrier is formed, but Hawkeye breaks the barrier by befriending two natives,…

Staging the Legacy of White Masculinity: A Dramaturgical Reading of Faulkner’s Light in August In Light in August, Faulkner adds an ensemble of characters to his fictional town of Jefferson, Mississippi.

regarded by many of the characters as such; but she believes that if she were to have a pair of blue eyes she will become beautiful, and in turn the ones around her would treat her without disdain.

Christina Hoag (2016) states in her article, Diversity in Hollywood, “White males still dominate virtually all aspects of [the film industry].” Recent events have led to the discovery of unfair wages between male and female actors to racism in today’s award shows. In years prior, laws had to be placed in order for women and non-whites to have rights in America. The film industry solely relies on backlash and the hope that the film community…

we just “subjected to labels and stereotypes” or do we have free will to navigate and differentiate ourselves from others?
