...RACSIM IN 1930’S AMERICA RACSIM IN 1930’S AMERICA In the early 1930's many races were still treated as inferiors. It was not only African Americans discriminated against but also many of the more ethnic groups were treated the same way, more so in the south than the north. White Americans had a better life than the minorities. It was considered wrong for an African Americans (Black People) to question and judge white people. Many rights of the black people were completely ignored. They were also treated as lower class citizens. In 1930 racism was the most horrible thing because no black person was allowed to be near a white person and they had different rights. Black people were called ‘Animals, Nigga, and Negro. Black people faced many series of problem such as: Black people didn’t have the same human right as white people, because they were seen as an inferior animal.

...Racial Diversity In Society Currently, there are approximately three million Arab Americans in the United States. Arabs live in all 50 states, however, are most prominent in Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. 66 percent of Arabs live in 10 states with 33 percent living in California, Michigan, New York and New Jersey (Hassoun, 2014). At least 89 percent of Arab Americans have a high school diploma and over 45 percent have a Bachelor’s degree or higher and 18 percent have a post-graduate degree. In comparison only 28 percent of Americans have a Bachelors degree and 10 percent have a post-graduate degree, on average (Arab American Institute, 2014). Arab Americans are very active in United States politics. Two Arab Americans, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. and Spencer Abraham, were appointed to George W. Bush’s first term Cabinet. The nations longest serving Secretary of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, was also Arab American (Arab American Institute, 2014). Socially, most Arab Americans fit right into the communities in which they live. Arab Americans are mostly of Muslim faith, but there are some Chaldeans, Catholic Arabs, in America. Arab Americans are often stereotyped as being terrorists, which is not true. In fact, most Arab Americans are against terrorism and believe in peace among all people. Racism is the belief that race is the primary determination in human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent...

...Siani & Johnnesse Professor Dwyer T/Th4-6pm Racism is something we've all witnessed. Many people fail to believe that race isn’t a category, but a classification of people with no variable facts. In other words, the difference we make between races has nothing to do with genes. Race was created socially, primarily by how people think ideas and faces we are not quite used to. The definition of race all depends on where and when the word is being used. In U.S. history, the meaning of the label “white” has changed over time, eventually adding groups like the Italians, Irish and Jews. Other groups, mainly African, Latino, American Indian, Pacific Islander, and Asian descendants, have found the path for worldwide social acceptance much more difficult. The irregular border of ethnicities touches educational and economic opportunity, political representation, as well as income, health and social mobility of people of color. So where did this type of behavior begin? There are many ideas thrown around as to how racism began, though the truth lies in the history of mankind. Before people were able to travel and experience difference groups of people, we stayed in the same kind of area with the same kind of people. We feared things that were different, and were lacked the power to face those kinds of things. All this changed once we did but the fear never left. The truth is racism began as soon as people faced those of different races. We’ve always the fear of change or the unknown...
