Race
The student's observations about race in discussion 1 prompted me to think about the way our society uses affirmative action to deal with racial inequalities in the workplace. The student states early in the discussion that he had never been personally affected by race or racism -- and yet, after some reflection, he realizes that he had been. He tells the story of going for an interview at Target and being asked if he was Mexican because his name was Hernandez. He informed the interviewer that he was not Mexican and the interviewer immediately lost interest in him as a person. It seems the interviewer was only interested in hiring a particular race -- a Latino -- most likely to fill some sort of affirmative action quota.
This recollection by the student made me irritated because I began to consider how hypocritical our own society is about race. On the one hand we try to act like race shouldn't make a difference,...
Why should Target be more interested in hiring a Mexican because he is a Mexican? If a person speaks Spanish, this is a qualification. If a person's race is Latino, how is this a qualification? Our attitudes towards race are at best contradictory. I believe we should stop pretending like we don't notice race. Race is a big deal here (even if it isn't in other countries).

Race and Community Anderson, South Carolina: Race and Community A soft southern twang of the local server at the local cafe and the warmness of the air that envelopes me even into the fall months, the beauty of Anderson, South Carolina is something that I enjoy constantly.

Students Will Select a Construct of Interest My construct of interest is whether there are any prejudice tests that can accurately measure prejudice to races other than Blacks. Do the currently available standardized tests on prejudice measure prejudice to individuals other than Black people? Conduct research on other assessments used to measure the same or similar construct, The Modern Racism Scale According to the SAGE Handbook of prejudice, Stereotyping and Discrimination (Dovidio, 2010), the scale
Therefore I reasoned until now and still do, that were discrimination as restricted by question 1 between students, faculty, staff and administrators a problem, it would come up, because other topics of racial inequality do freely come up in discussion. Are people of your race and ethnicity proportionately represented... Getting back to sample size, if I know say ten candidates for differential treatment based on race, and they are only a
And there are always a few racists in any town. But I believe we have a great, open, accepting community. We entertain tourists from all over the planet, and many of them are from ethnic cultures different from ours. They say they feel welcomed here. Q: What use does the community foundation make of the local AM station KMHS-AM? M: I'm glad you asked. We have learning programs for parents and

The study shows the reasons behind college student's lack of class room participation based on the relationships they have with their fellow classmates as well as their teachers. Researchers based their findings on surveys given to both male and female students which showed different reasons for their quietness in class. It is interesting that male and female students each have their own justifications for not speaking in class; the majority
