In the case Mendez versus Westminster 1946, the Mendez family had three children that were denied admittance to the elementary school based on their race and skin color. Only when a lawsuit was brought forward, then the Westminster School District of Orange County compromised to allow Mendez’s children to attend the school. They only made an exception for the Mendez family and concluded no other Mexican American student can enroll. The Mendez family did not accept the offer and continued with the lawsuit in hopes of creating opportunities for the entire Mexican community. Eventually the judge ruled in favor of Mendez and the Court of Appeals agreed that the Fourteenth Amendment was violated in this case. This case shows how minorities…
In 2003, the Supreme Court of New Haven was mandated to reexamine Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964, as it was presented a disparate impact discrimination case against the same City’s firefighters. The African American firefighters, expressed their disgruntlement, as they did not feel professionally appreciated by their superiors. On the contrary, they did not have the privilege as the opposite ethnic group to seek for upward mobility within the Fire Department.…
Timothy Pickering begins his passionate defense by addressing that the Alien Law would only affect foreigners—i.e. “aliens”—who are conspiring against the country and explains why the act is not dangerous for the nation as a whole. He then proceeds to give reasons for why the United States should not be worried about the Sedition Act either, then concludes his argument with the belief that anyone against the passage of the laws is, frankly, also against the justice system as a whole. Pickering’s usage of his framework and organization from least to greatest importance is a powerful rhetorical tool that leaves the audience asking questions and thinking for themselves. His use of parallel sentence structure throughout the piece, such as…

David Dunlap brought suit under Title VII, alleging racial discrimination by the TVA. The district court found that Dunlap had been subjected to discrimination under both disparate treatment and disparate impact analyses, concluding that TVA’s subjective hiring processes permitted racial bias against both Dunlap and other black applicants (Walsh, 2010). The Appeals Court affirmed the disparate treatment claim, reversed the disparate impact claim, and affirmed the district court’s award of damages and fees to Mr. Dunlap (Walsh, 2010).…
The final pro of the Patriot Act we will discuss is the increased restrictions on immigration. Alison Bradley (2002) said the Patriot Act "permits the indefinite suspension of immigrants on minor visa violations" (p. 1). However, the review process…
Discrimination is widely demonstrated in this well-written article. “Affirmative action for whites was the essence of the 1790 Naturalization Act, which allowed virtually any European immigrant to become a full citizen, even while blacks, Asians and American Indians could not… racially restrictive housing policies helped 15 million white families procure homes with FHA loans from the 1930s to the '60s, while people of color were mostly excluded from the same programs (Wise, 2003, para. 4-6). Clearly, people of color were discriminated against when it came to becoming a citizen and securing a home for their families. Also, it is demonstrated, inadvertently, through the point system of Michigan University.…
Forman asserts that racial profiling breaks conservative principles by violating the idea that if one works hard, they get a full membership to society. He points out that this is not always the case and that racial profiling aids in spreading the belief in students of minorities that they will always be treated as outcasts and criminals based on their ethnicity. He includes many stories from those who have been affected by racial profiling like Robert Byrd who was mistaken for stealing a van and then goes onto to say that, “For the conservative ethos to work and responsibility to resonate, black citizens must believe they are treated the same way as white citizens-that with equal responsibilities go equal rights.” Forman’s statement further supports his thesis by proving how racial profiling is defying conservative beliefs.…
In a society where all are striving for fairness and equality, the idea of “racial profiling” is abhorring to those with a strong sense of independence and freedom, embracing what the Constitution has given them from the time of its birth. All those under the United States’ flag were given the ultimate rights to walk and drive outside without worrying about who may question their actions. However, this “racial profiling”, this discriminatory practice in the face of justice is threatening the strength of the Constitution and the unalienable rights naturally given to the people. Racial profiling should not be a custom practice to this society as it threatens the rights, trust, and even safety of the people of this nation.…
