White people

As you might know, many people struggle with their identity; they don’t know how to accept themselves in the world that’s full of prejudice from how you look like your eye color, hair color, and skin color. People doubt their values and want to change themselves entirely even though they can’t. From my personal observation of racism, it makes me feel depressed to see them judged on how the other people look and couldn’t be different than some people in this world; it also makes me feel so angry…

gathered for this section comes by way of several sources such as ESPN, official sports websites, or industry journals. The history of minority coaches in professional sports has not been given as many opportunities in contrast to their counterparts. People would think that sports have many minorities that mainly African-Americans are practically the playing majority, so it would be more minorities in leadership and managing roles too. However, this is not the case. According to my research,…

rather than challenging how things work. However, if we take the time to sit and really think about what is socially acceptable and what is not, some may begin to question the fairness and legitimacy of these rules. How we interact with other groups of people is a great example of what is sometimes socially acceptable but morally wrong. Individuals need to break away from immoral rules placed by society in order to treat minority…

Perhaps one of the most uncomfortable situations in the workplace is discrimination due to prejudice. It can be based on cultural, religious, sexual preference, or ethnic prejudice. My dad told me as a kid we all have our prejudices in life. We tend to prefer blondes, tall and thin, Chevy over Ford, Apple to PC, etc. Those prejudices are on a much lighter note. This week I want to discuss an experience my grandfather told me about when he was a young man working the cauliflower fields in Eastern…

In the article “Hiding Your Race or Gender on A Job Application: Is It Ever worth It?” Lewis says, “research has shown that resumes with identical credentials lead to calls for interviews at a much higher rate when they appear to come from a white man, as opposed to having a name that ‘sounds’ black, Hispanic, Asian, or female.” For example, Jake and Raekwon applied for a job and Jake receives a call for the job. Jake and Raekwon are basically on the same level for the job but in appearance…

directed by Paul Haggis, tells the story of different people and the issues that they face regarding their race. The films main aspect was to look at racial profiling, as well as, the stereotypes that occur with every race. Throughout the movie there remains the constant issue of being able to trust people of different races and how they do not seem to be able to accomplish it. Throughout the movie, the audience constantly sees issues that these people face in their everyday lives. Although…

the United States, we are all racist because we have grown up in this biased society. As humans we are only born with a certain amount of instinctual knowledge and the rest is then learned over time. In our society due to media and the nature of the people of the United States we are inherently racist and lying to ourselves saying that we are not. “Racism has been an issue since humans existed” (Burylo). Through word of mouth and actions, values are passed down generation by generation. Racism…

“Colorblindness” in America “We the people” has been the slogan of America for over two hundred years. We pride ourselves on the fact that we want to treat all people of any gender, background, age and race the same. America has come a long way in many areas like woman’s rights and racial equality. We want to think that everything is all fine and dandy when it comes to racism, but we still have a long way to go. According to the Color-Blind Privilege by Charles A. Gallagher, denying race as a…

we are exposed to different types of people of different races. This creates a problem, racism. Stereotypes and generalizations of a mass population are lethal to the potential connections that can be made across the world. Today, racism is being brought to our attention more than ever. Racism in the USA today is presented small to large scale. Between the way the store manager keeps an extra close eye on the black girl shopping, and how there were only white Oscar nominations this year, racism…

we still have many acts of Racism today. You have white people being racist towards African Americans, then you have white people being racist towards Mexicans. You also have black people who don’t like white people, and black people who don’t like Mexicans so in honesty racism may never stop. I feel like people only dislike a race because of what somebody told them or from the bad things they see about a race because every race isn’t bad just people just a label on one race and that race is…
