Discussion 6: Race and Ethnicity

 

Must post first.

In this discussion, we'll examine the concepts of race and ethnicity and consider the relationship between ethnic stratification and privilege.

Please answer the following questions in your initial discussion post using concepts and examples from  at least two of the required resources this week:

· In the introduction to their book  Seeing White: An Introduction to White Privilege and Race,  Halley, Eshleman & Vijaya (2010) argue that "Often whites simply perceive themselves as 'normal' or 'just human' and fail to notice their own race" (p. 4). What do you interpret this statement? How does this relate to the idea that race is socially and culturally constructed?

· Review the Pew Research Center's (2020) report  Amid National Reckoning, Americans Divided on Whether Increased Focus on Race Will Lead to Major Policy Change . Why do you think the different groups discussed in the article have different views of the progress that has been made on equality? Which group do you most closely agree with? Why? How do the groups that you're part of influence your perspective here? Is this an area where you might have a single story?

Provide your initial post by 11:59 pm on Sunday. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length, excluding the discussion prompt and the references. Please use in-text APA citations within your post as well as full APA references at the end of your post.
