Discrimination Against Hispanics

Racial discrimination commonly refers to unfair or unequal behavior upon on individuals due to their race or ethnicity. Racism has been practiced for decades. Exerting superiority or supremacy over a race of individuals is the attempt of racial dominance. Despite the increasing population in the United States, Hispanic Americans find racial discrimination a reality in their lives. Migration rates have been on a dramatic climb over the past several decades resulting in a significant growth in diversity being experienced. The migration of the various cultural groups, including the Hispanic cultures,

No child is born with values of being a racist or discriminating against another human being. As a child grows, he has two options: one, continue in societies footsteps or two be better than society. All humans develop morals as they mature, people are born with the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Nevertheless some humans still follow the crowd to blend in, and to not be different from the rest of the world. All through the world we are faced with situations that put our morals to the test. One of this morals, is the act of being racist or discriminating against another race. Immigrants are one of the many groups of people who have faced discrimination on this country for centuries. Especially hispanics/latinos

The Native Americans believed that no one person owns the land; it belongs to everyone. They had lived peacefully in the lands and some tribes moved seasonally. Unfortunately, the Native Americans admirable concept of land ownership was not shared by the white colonists. The conquerors vanquished the lands mercilessly in their king’s name. The victors tore the lands apart for their own benefit regardless of how many people would get hurt. They discriminated the real owners and prevent them to enter to their own lands. Sadly, History is repeating itself; all the dark centuries of colonizing might have vanished, but instead, it has been replaced by the rise of nationalism. Political leaders all over the world are currently riding on a wave of nationalism by stoking fear and hostility towards refugees and migrants. The promise of politicians to reduce immigration in order to secure the nation’s security, the native workers’ wages or employment is merely a discrimination in disguise. Building a wall along the US-Mexico border is a great mistake. This egregious

Have you ever walked into a department store or a restaurant and noticed the employees or managers? Whenever I attend one of these establishments I noticed that the employees are either of color or Hispanic while the managers are Caucasian. In these establishments these employees are cleaning or just doing basic jobs around the store, for example, working on the cash register, stocking, and etc. And in most cases there aren’t many upper level managers like store managers to be exact that are colored people. I came to the conclusion that colored people don’t have major roles in establishments or don’t even work in these establishments. I believe these acts are a sign of race discrimination. In conducting this research I plan to go to different department stores and restaurants in one day and observe what race are the employees and how many people of color are working.

countries’ and people have to deal with it until this day. The border has stop every person who’s coming from Mexico to the United States not giving them the right to come to their land that once was theirs. Americans not wanting nothing to do Mexicans immigrants. Especially the new president of The United Stated, Donald Trump. In November 2016 Donald Trump was elected as the president, in which he brought back so much conflict again with Mexico by promoting to build a wall to stop immigrants to move to the Unites States illegally. It is said that Trump won the election because of how he initiated his campaign essentially promoting racism against illegal immigrants in general, yet he only focused with those who are from Mexico. He wants to build a wall where he intends on making México pay for. The wall would be a 30-foot-high border which he plans on calling it a big beautiful wall. The wall would be hard to climb or cut through and make it a lot more

Discrimination is still going on right now. In lots of workplaces African Americans and hispanics’ paid less than the average white person (khanacademy.org). Families that come to the united states get harassed by people like in school kids get treated non equally for example assuming and child’s race or gender. There was a woman in Queens that couldn’t get a job as a barker because she was black (nydailynews.com).

What would the ‘’U.S Economy be if racial inequality did not exist’’. (Badger) We can't eliminate racial inequalities without knowing why they occur ‘’ with legal statutes immigrant workers, and black men’’. (Badger) Many Mexicans are still being deported and black men are still being segregated.

Racial differences in the work place is one of the biggest examples of being denied upward mobility. Racial inequality in the workforce can take two forms: access and treatment (Cunningham & Sagas, 2004). Any person or group of people are sometimes denied access to a job because of their race. Sometimes certain races are denied to a specific profession as a whole. They also may sometimes get the job but treated poorly and not allowed to succeed and achieve upward mobility. Access discrimination is somebody treated differently once they get the job and not given adequate supplies, guidance, or opportunities to succeed and gain upward mobility (Cunningham & Sagas, 2004). If somebody is denied access to a job or even get the job but not allowed

Social injustices against African American women in the workplace is a very important topic that needs to be expressed and taken seriously because even though society says women are equal today they are not. Black women were paid 63% of what non- Hispanic men were paid in 2016. Along with pay gap, African American women also face prejudicial discrimination. African American women encounter prejudicial racial attitudes and other noxious stimuli during everyday workplace interactions with Caucasians. In a study done in Arkansas, “77% of the nurses’ aides reported a high level of discriminatory language and behavior on the part of both management and patients” Compared to employed men, employed women are more likely to work in support positions

Individually I will take it upon myself to start a conversation with my peers and family members about the topic. I want to be able to express my thoughts and how others do the same. Giving everyone a fair chance at stating his or her views with one another. Locally their needs to be an organization committed to bring awareness and education to others that don’t understand social construction of race and ethnicity. Having different individuals organized an event to educate the community about their race and ethnicity. Nationally we need to accept that United States did wrong by discriminating against minority groups when they arrived. Being honest to their mistakes and making changes to help the minority groups they harmed. As a nation we

Most cases of racism that occurs in Mexico, as educators shall see from the survey report later are express racism. The survey shows that most cases of experienced discrimination within minority groups are alarming in Mexico . In the US, Brown, L (2006) reports that some health problems like bipolar disorder is highly associated with impersonal discrimination as it leaves victims in fear state of danger. However, this will be in most common forms of racism like in every experience in society students report because of the their experience as a result of his/her color or racial backgrounds. racial discrimination for international students typically refers to discriminatory policies into organizational

When looking for a job, many companies claim to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, meaning it is illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. Many companies still discriminate based on people’s race. In the eyes of America’s employers, blacks and whites are unequal. Unemployment is at 5.8%, the lowest it’s been since July of 2008. Unless you happen to be black, where it is double. Among African Americans, the unemployment rate is 12.4%, more than twice as high as the 4.9% among whites.

Discrimination and wage theft intertwine with each other. Statically, women and workers of color face higher rates of wage theft than other groups. A man named Heriberto Zamora was working for one of the most expensive restaurants in the country. He had twelve to fourteen hour shifts which accumulated to nearly 60 hours per week and had received no overtime. He was later unfairly fired and was only able to receive payment with the help of local organization Koreatown Immigrant Workers alliance who advocated for him. Zamora is an immigrant, and like many others he was taken advantage of for being an immigrant. Business that underpay and mistreat immigrant employees are morally and ethically wrong.

While majority of the Americans perceive discrimination as a foregone phenomenon, it is still pervasive in the American society. For minorities, discrimination is detrimental owing to the fact that they represent one-third of American workforce. In fact, for African American women, the problem is more severe because they are more disadvantaged compared to their men counterparts. One of the common places where discrimination affects African American women’s livelihood is the workplace. A survey conducted by the National Partnership for Women and Families asserted that the African American women earned an average of about 60 centers for every white man’s dollar (Reynolds-Dobbs, Thomas & Harrison, 2008).
