The various articles included within Shades of Difference discuss the dynamic complexities and differences of colorism and racism, two terms that have been incorrectly used interchangeably for years by society to refer to generalized, racist phenomena.

certain race based on a stereotype about their race. In main words, it’s just basically stereotyping. Racial profiling seems to be big in law enforcement. A good example of racial profiling by the police is when A Hispanic driver is stopped in a "white" neighborhood because he "doesn’t belong there" or "looks to be out of place and/or a group of black teenagers are pulled over because of the kind of car they are driving. I as an everyday citizen am guilty of racial profiling. There are…

wants to represent English expansion into the New World. Caliban – a native of the island – became a figure for the other natives of the New World as Prospero claimed sovereignty on the island. Takaki uses this image to illustrate the tendency of white Americans to match barbarism with the color of the skin. This attitude would determine the treatment reserved for immigrants in America.

Crenshaw explains her theory of political intersectionality as “the fact that women of color are situated within at least two subordinated groups that frequently pursue conflicting personal agendas.” Black women experience sexism differently than white woman, while simultaneously experiencing racism differently than black men. Often, the analysis of one mode of oppression, like that of racism, works to disqualify the…

The concept of racism has changed throughout the centuries. Racism used to consist of believing people of a different color are subhuman, now we believe a black man runs faster than a white man because of his race. Racism and prejudices transformed into stereotypes that are ingrained into our brains because of society and the people around us. The Unites States may not be at the position of Jim Crow laws like it was in the 1960s, but racism is still taking place. It is interweaved into…

relations between Whites and Native Americans in his essay, while formidable to producing his argument, are helped significantly by a metaphor presented through the mentioning of Mary Rowlandson, a historical figure who was held captive by Native Americans. Alexie’s argument as to the counter productivity and fear produced as a result of race is brought to light partially through the historical reference to the character Mary Rowlandson, reversing roles where instead of the White person being…

never ending cycle, where Officer Ryan’s future interactions will be influenced by his past interactions. Similarly, Anthony’s attitude towards white people is defensive and untrusting. Although the movie doesn’t show it, it’s possible that Anthony may have had a troubling experience with a white person.

racism and prejudice but I do not have an exact story. I do know that I did not notice covert racism until I attended Howard University and those things were exposed to me. I remember when my family and I went to a jewelry store in the Caribbean and a white manager was following us around the store. We were walking around the store and I kept noticing him everywhere we went. What made it worse was that I kept making eye contact with him and he would make faces at me, as if he was trying to say…

With this eagerness to validate himself to white people, he allowed himself to be humiliated by them. Typically, Black people, who are ashamed of their slave ancestors because they see them as weak, allow themselves to blame their forefathers and foremothers for their own lifelong status of being…
