The topic of ethnicity and migration dates back through many centuries. As I focused in on one particular group in the early middle ages‚ the Slavic people of Eastern Europe‚ I found those topics very apparent in the time of their expansion.

The Slavic people originated in the early 5th century. They

Another thing the book stated which made me think a lot is the comment about race. It said that race is a social construct‚ not a scientific or biological fact. It was interesting learning about how race developed into a hierarchically issue. Race and ethnicity are different things and people do not realize the differences between the two. I have several questions from chapter four. When interacting with clients‚ if they use terms and microaggressions that you do not like‚ do you correct them? I think

Race Ethnicity and Literature I have had an opportunity to read three great short stories. The short stories were "The Welcome Table‚ Country Lovers‚ and Child of the Americas."

I also think the short stories provide an understanding in

one unlucky administrator evokes a collective grown. Not many others share this fear of testing quite like I do. It’s not the tedious english passages or the excessive and obscure math problems‚ but instead the inevitable question: “What is your ethnicity?” The fear invoked by the simple question is indescribable.

This was the ideal that a century later Israel Zangwill crystallized in the title of his popular 1908 play The Melting Pot. The new American identity was inescapably English in language‚ ideas and institutions. The pot did not melt everybody

These inequalities are on a global scale and are found in virtually all societies. It wasn’t until relatively recently‚ however‚ that a caste system developed to include race and ethnicity among class and gender.
