Race-Discrimination Case Study

As children grow up, they become the person they turn out to be because of experiences and the culture and society they grew up in. Nations are affected in the same sense because the people living in a nation affect how the nation is influenced and builds its character.

General Order 600-42, establishes the department’s policy against the practice of racial profiling as set out in state and federal laws, concerning racial profiling and discriminatory practices in general. Discrimination in any form, including racial profiling, is strictly prohibited and the department shall take immediate and appropriate action to investigate allegations of discrimination (Houston Police Department General Order, 2012).

Race refers to the physical form of some common genetic characteristics of the crowd. This is born, cannot be chosen. While ethnicity refers to the people with the same experience, cultural background or language. The United States as a migrant country, immigration culture, complex skin color, ethnic racial relations are complex. The race of society has been going on for more than half a century. Racism is a self centered attitude, and racial differences determine the history of human society and cultural development. Racial discrimination has always been a serious social problem. Racial discrimination is further convinced that the disaggregated differences are linked to hierarchical evaluations, and that various human races determine their culture or personal achievement, implying that certain races are better than others. Racism to the German Nazi regime and the United States as the representation of the past, the German Nazi regime

The United States is considered one of the countries that have more immigrants in the world. Also, is considered as one of the countries that treat their population equally. According to Teresa Welsh, in 2013 North America has 989,900 immigrants, leading the U.S to be the top country for having more migrants. However, immigrants are facing discrimination and racism in this country.

Race Discrimination is a problem in our world for many reason. While many people may say that it this isn’t a problem because dIscrimination/racism could separate people in categories or races. Even though insulting one's race is bad, it could describe who they are. It can also make people have a stronger faith on themselves to push on and live life with the insult.This is still an issue that we need to think about because it can affect people in many ways. In this essay this problem will be explored by examining how this issue emerges in The wife story by Ursula Le Guin as well as in additional research that can be found in the book, The rise and fall of the jim crows law by Richard Wormser and in the website What is discrimination

Racial discrimination has become a hot issue in the United States. Protests against the inequality of the court system and the young lives of black youths has sparked a racial divide. This problem has been occurring even before the establishment of this century. Racial tensions between blacks and whites goes far back to when slavery was still legal. African men, women, and children arrived to the free lands only to work their way out of slavery early on. Until the slave system became more strict, many young african american men and women could pay off their debt to their owners and marry. As the slave system became more strict, the possibility of buying your own freedom was erased. After the Civil War, many issues arose for the former slaves. The political leaders wanted to provide rights to protect the freed slaves, yet the States found loopholes to deny a free black man from being ‘free.’

Nowadays, we can still feel the existence of racial discrimination. As we all know, Michael Jackson might be the world’s most famous singer who was born in an African-American family with inborn skin black. Nobody knows why he changed his skin color from black to white. America is a diversity country, which was built in African-American, Latinos, Asian-American and other minority groups have been discriminated in many fields, however, these different race always troubled by the racial discrimination. For example, why black people can not get the better education, is that just because of the problem of poverty? The racial discrimination is still happening, it is hard to overcome the problem, but we can put an end to this situation, to decrease the number of the times it happens.

The Plaintiff, Cindy Pilon, felt that she was not considered for the position that she interviewed for because of her race. The position at hand was filled by and African-American male.

Race discrimination involves treating someone unfavorably because he/she is a certain race. Color discrimination involves treating someone unfavorably because of skin color complexion. structural racism, state racism or systemic racism is racial discrimination by governments, corporations, religions, or educational institutions or other large organizations with the power to influence the lives of many people.

Throughout the movie trailer “Remember the Titans”, we can conclude that the objective of the coach and the team is to win their first season championship game. Winning is the main point of sports and one of the way that sports team help in diminishing race discrimination is actually by sharing the same goal. This view is further supported by Gregory Kaliss in his book, “Men’s College Athletic and the Politics of Racial Equality: Five Pioneer Stories of Black Manliness, White Citizenship, and American Democracy”, where he said that the athletes can unite since they all share the same goal (175). Kaliss also further proved that in all of his five case studies; on some level, validated the argument that different races can work together and achieve

This particular case is very unique because it’s a very theoretical argument in some ways. The student won his case originally and was allowed to attend law school. His argument of reverse discrimination was found to have merit because he was not admitted to the University of Washington state law school but other less qualified students were. Those students happened to be minority students. So the trial court in 1971 ordered that he be admitted to the university. Then in his second year the judge’s decision in this case was reversed by the state’s high court. Which seems pointless to me because he has already been admitted and been working o earning his degree for almost two years. I understand clearly evidence was found that caused the

Issue – Kathryn’s colleagues would make racial jokes about her and call her offensive racial slurs. In addition, they would do certain things to try and embarrass her. She even said that she “felt like she was experiencing racial discrimination to an extent.”

Over the years, our country has witnessed countless cases of police brutality. It has developed into a controversial topic between communities that have realized police cruelty have taken place in front of our homes. Deindustrialization is removal or reduction of industrial capacity or activity can lead to more crimes when people are laid off. Officers are faced with many threatening situations daily compelling them to make split second decisions and either to expect the worst or hope for the best. Police officers are given the authority to take any citizen away and even their lives. With that kind of power comes responsibility, that’s one main concern with the amount of discretion officers have is when to use lethal force. The use of excessive force might or not be a large predicament, but should be viewed by both the police and the community. The issue of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system is controversial because there is a significant indication confirming both individual and systemic favoritisms. While there is intention to believe that there are unfair elements at every step of the judicial progression, this treatment will examine and attempt to clarify such elements in two of the most critical judicial junctures, criminal apprehension, and prosecution. Every day, people are being pulled over, harassed, and even killed for being of a certain race. There are new laws that politicians are trying to pass that promote racial discrimination.

"When Mateen first came on the FBI's radar, agents opened a preliminary investigation, which allows them to conduct limited surveillance and searches but not to use their most aggressive tools, like foreign intelligence warrants. The bureau used the authority it had to run undercover sources against Mateen, search his "transactional records" and record his conversations, Comey says." (Alter, Calabresi, Chan, Dias, Miller, Philip, Prusher, Scherer, and Von Drehle)

During the last decade, the awareness of racial discrimination, in some extent, happening every day in North America has been aroused, which is called racial microaggression —“a brief and commonplace verbal, behavioural, or environmental indignities that communicate negative racial insults to people of colour” (Sue, Capodilupo, et al., 2007). This problem even hit Canada — a multicultural nation — and was widely discussed in Canada after a forced apology. In February 2014, a student, studied at McGill University, was obliged to apologize for an email involved in racial microaggression (Hamilton, 2014). Subsequently, McGill struggled with lots of complaints from its students, and the protest was so strong that hit the headlines (Boesveld, 2014). This incident questions me that why would a top university involve in racial microaggression after it had already been discussing for years, and what are the components of racial microaggression that make it hard to prevent. After research, it turns out that racial microaggression comprises microassault, microinsult and microinvalidation (Sue, Capodilupo, et al., 2007), which explains why microaggression is hard to avert. And this paper will provide some suggestion afterwards.
