WHAT DO THE TERMS RACE & ETHNICITY MEAN TO ME? The terms race and ethnicity to me are two very different things. Race is said to be determined by your physical appearance. I believe that we are what we are. So many different things in society today have had a label put on them. If you fill out a survey they ask for your race. If you apply for a job‚ they ask for your race. I cannot seem to understand the point in all of this. Everything is said to be “equal opportunity”‚ yet every time you

regardless of gender‚ race‚ or income would have the equal chance at having a better life. Throughout American history we can see this is not the case. The country is racially divided as it was hundreds of years ago‚ as well as the rich controlling the government. The texts “FROM SLAVERY TO PRISONS: A HISTORICAL DELINEATION OF THE CRIMINILIZATION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS” by Deborah Burris-Kitchen and Paul Burris and “Theres No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster” by Neil Smith elude to the race clash and gentrification

Race‚ class‚ and gender are the three main things that separate and hold people back in today’s society. I’d like to be able to say that things have progressively gotten better as time continues to pass‚ and to an extent they have‚ but in reality we still live in an extremely ignorant and subjective society. The fact is‚ people everyday are being turned down for jobs and opportunities not because of what they are or aren’t capable of or what they do or don’t know‚ but because of what they are and

This shows that everything is presented through the idea of a majority viewing a minority. The most striking way Tough Guise brings up the topic of gender

Race is something I have thought a lot about with my intentions on becoming a teacher. Ninety percent of our teachers today are white (Lee‚ Menkart‚ & Okazawa-Rey‚ 2008). With being white I will soon be apart of this standard‚ as well as being a stereotype of an educator because I am a woman. Going up I have only had white teachers and could count the number of male teachers on one hand. My elementary years where quite different then my high school years. I attended elementary and middle school in

• What information about race and ethnicity in the United States has helped you better understand or relate to specific minority groups? I would have to say that I have learned a lot of information by taking this cultural diversity class. I know that there are minorities in the United States‚ but I was unaware of many of the discriminations that have happened over the years. I have always thought that we were all equal and that is how I have raised my children. We may come from different
