    Institutional racism is a form of racism that is centered towards a certain group or individual that are discriminated against based on the color of their skin. It can result in internalized oppression by making an individual or group feel not wanted. For example, Asian Americans and Latino/as both share collectivism and group identity. Some Latinos are here illegally but in society, they are treated like they are not wanted, and they are taking all of the jobs and not paying taxes.

    Do you believe racism is still a problem today? Have you ever experienced or witnessed a racist act? Racism is the belief that all members of each race in the world today possess characteristics or abilities that pertain specifically to that race, especially to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. Although, some people do not have any issues at all with the concept of racism; majority of people living in America deal with racism in their everyday lives. Racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons encouraging fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and even during economic downturns. This is very demoralizing because we are all human beings and of course every one of us…

    Racism In Society

    In the past decade, racism has changed along with how society has changed. For example, in today’s society, it is rare to see a store, restaurant or anyone who just will not serve anyone because they are black; however, it can still happen. In society today, world racism is taken and given in a different way. When the Internet came into play during the 21st century and social media following not far after, the characteristics of racism changed. Author Emily Fekete writes in her article Race and (Online) Sites Consumption, “Geographers have noted the increasing role of the Internet and social media in everyday life (Zook and Graham 2007; Elwood 2011; Kitchin and Dodge 2011; Stephens 2013)”.

    Hispanic Discrimination

    Since the end of the Mexican war, for one hundred years, Mexicans had to deal with discrimination. In the 1950’s Mexican Americans were considered second class citizens. There were theaters, swimming pools and even public parks that did not allow Mexican Americans and were segregated. I was very surprised when they said “public” parks were to be segregated, it is outrageous that Mexican Americans couldn’t go to the Public Park, it isn’t public if all certain people couldn’t go. In the early 20th century, Mexicans were considered “white”, by law treaty grant of America’s citizenship, but yet they were still known as second rate. Over 300,000 Mexicans served in the army to fight for America thinking they will receive the right as first class, returning home to the same treatment as before. Discrimination was so bad for the Hispanics that cemeteries were even segregated, in which many funeral parlors refused to prepare Mexican bodies for burials. For example, Private Felix Longoria died fighting in the war and was returned to his hometown only to be rejected by the only funeral parlor in town to hold a memorial service. After a public campaign Felix was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.…
