The qualitatively higher level of hostility that black-white marriages face make these relationships more difficult for African-Americans, as easily seen in the lower number of blacks who outmarry, as well as for whites who marry blacks. Yancey's study illustrates that these whites who marry blacks have more visceral experiences of racism than whites who marry non-black people of color.
Whites who intermarry use their changed social status to reconsider earlier thoughts about societal views on race. Those who marry blacks, especially, may go beyond theoretical ideas, since they often have to deal with racism thrust forcefully into their lives. The findings indicate that premarital racial preparation is inadequate for informing whites of the possible ramifications of their interracial decisions. Majority group members are apt to have a difficult time understanding the total impact of being linked to a black until it occurs. Just as race is a socially constructed concept, racial understanding is also arbitrarily determined. The experiences of whites who observe racism first hand are certain to play an important...
What he found, however, was not surprising although it was disconcerting. One would hope that with the changing demographics in this country as well as increased globalization, it would become easier for people to intermarry. It appears that the whites in this country still differentiate among blacks, Asians and Hispanics. Although interracial white and Hispanic and white and Asian marriages have their own difficulties, the issue of color and history make it more challenging for black and white unions.

That completely changes commercial patterns because customization becomes not special but standard. On the other hand, because reaching these markets of one is so direct and precise, it eliminates the waste involved in mass marketing. There is no need to send sales forces out in cars, or to waste untold hours cold-calling, in theory. That, of course, raises one of the most significant advantages of the current trend toward increasingly
Among race and ethnic groups, the Asian and other labor force is projected to increase the most rapidly. The Hispanic labor force is projected to be larger than the black labor force due to faster population growth. Overall, the U.S. Department of Labor predicts that by 2008, seventy percent of the new entrants into the workforce will be women and people of color (Companies focus on recruiting diverse workforce,
There would be a small cost to print the posters in each unit, but nothing extravagant. In order to promote the implementation, the department reporting the least amount of needle sticks per month would be given a small reward such as a free department lunch or movie tickets. The program can be evaluated by the number of needle stick injuries reported. The nurses will have to be trusted to actually
When you analyze the current situation with the projection for the future, it is clear that specialized areas will continue to be in demand. This means that two different worlds will emerge, where you will have those individuals who have obtained specialized skills and are highly educated. At the same time, you will have those people who have no education or skills. These two factors will help them to be
S. Census Bureau statistics, which disproportionately omit U.S. Latino-residents and, as a result, understate the population bases on which congressional representation and decisions on program funding are made. This kind of resistance has repeatedly resulted in an incomplete policy agenda and the formation of the appropriate and responsive management of demographic change. The fast-aging character of the American population places the burden of caring for the elderly on minorities and
Health Care Provider Changes and Service Delivery Healthcare and its finance today has been complicated by many dynamics, including the changing demographic of Western society today. Hence, it is difficult to answer a question about addressing healthcare personnel shortages effectively with "I agree" or "I disagree." There are simply too many intricate factors involved in the dynamics of physician numbers, population demographics and the types of services and specialties in healthcare
