Discussion Board 10 "The Continuing Struggle for Social Justice"

For this discussion board, I would like for us to reflect on what we have learned about the course and consider what still needs to be done to support our marginalized communities. With that, in your posts for this week share one central issue that you feel needs to be dealt with (poor housing, over policing, inadequate education, food insecurity, lacking healthcare, minimal representation in government, and/or misrepresentation in media) or post about the most important thing that you learned about this semester. In your post, make sure that you cite at least one course reading or lecture .

Your post needs to be at least 150 words in length. Make sure that you respond to two peers' post to receive credit. Submit your post and responses by Sunday @ 11:59pm to receive full credit for the assignment.

Closing the Gaps and Moving Towards an Anti-Racist/Equal Society

What we'll cover:

What can we do?

Race and Wealth

Minimizing the Racial Wealth Gap

Education

Deprioritizing Policing in the U.S.

Homelessness

Thinking Ahead

What we can do!

You all have come to understand the complexities of oppression in our society

Many communities have experienced specific challenges while also enduring interconnected social issues:

Poorly funded education

Inadequate healthcare

Exclusionary and toxic housing

Food insecurity

Hyperpolicing and criminalization of behaviors and identities.

Poor representation in politics

Misrepresenting media

Each feeds into the other creating a complex system of Racism that continuously reproduces itself

Race and Wealth

Minimizing the Racial Wealth Gap

Promising policies to shrink wealth inequality and racial wealth gaps

Federal asset-building subsidies disproportionately benefit high-income families that need them the least (i.e Trump tax cuts). Here are six recommendations that could help reduce wealth inequality and racial wealth disparities:

Limit the mortgage interest tax deduction and use the revenues to provide a credit for first-time homebuyers.

Establish automatic savings in retirement plans.

Reduce reliance on student loans while supporting success in postsecondary education.

Offer universal children's savings accounts.

Reform safety net program asset tests, which can act as barriers to saving among low-income families.

Provide subsidies to promote emergency savings, such as those linked to tax time.

By more efficiently and equitably promoting saving and asset building, more people will have the tools to protect their families in tough times and invest in themselves and their children.

Education

Education funding has lacked significantly in the U.S.

History and current reality shows us that we are not doing enough to educate and care for our children

Clearly, we prioritize military over all other expenditures

As we continue to underfund education, our growingly diverse youth population will continue to suffer

Deprioritizing Policing in the U.S.

Our nation is obsessed with policing

Many states and municipalities spend 50% of their budgets on law enforcement over other programs

Even with these huge budgets, police continue to make innumerable mistakes that cost peoples' lives

We have to consider that high police budgets are not giving security that we so seek and other alternatives should be considered

Homelessness

We have to many poor and unsheltered people in our communities

Housing and living costs continue to rise

Our nation has more than enough money to take care of people, yet does little to shelter folks

Sadly, there is easy solutions to these pressing problems but no political will to fix homelessness or other social issues.

Thinking Ahead

While there are so many issues in our society that we have covered, there's so much more out there that we have to address

We need to radically invest in people in order to grow our communities and economies

We can vote and hold elected officials accountable for these continued misgivings as more data shows that Return on Investment is highest for early childhood.

Asian Americans in the U.S.

Orientalism, the Coolies, and Chinese Exclusion

ETHST 1

Dr. Frank Pérez

Lecture Layout

What We'll Cover

Asian Americans and Race

Constructing Orient/Oriental/Orientalism

Western Imperialism in Asian

Coolies

The Rise of Yellow Peril

Chinese Exclusion Act

Key Term:

Orientalism: a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab and Asian peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous.

Asian Americans and Race

Asians, like other non-white communities, were ascribed a race (and color) to show their distinctness from Europeans

Interactions between Europe, the U.S., and Asian countries and societies motivated this classification to place Asians within the continuum of race

Theories about pologenesis emgerged to explain physical differences between Anglos and non-whites

(Right) depictions of preadamite peoples, those that came before Adam [biblical] and map showing the colored make-up of the world

Constructing Orient/Orientals/Orientalism

Asian communities endured the same racializing process as other Communities of Color

Asian scholars describe the unique type of racialization they faced as Orientalism

"Orientalism” is a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab and Asian peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous.

This unique form of racialization provided western powers with the justification to make war, capture land and resources, and exploit peoples within and from these regions

Western Imperialism in Asia

After many of the Colonies in the Americas liberated themselves, the U.S. and European empires sought to establish new colonial relationships with the Asia

UK wanted goods and to trade opium thereby creating an addicted colonial relationship with China/Asia

U.S. wanted to sell railroads and technology to modernize the East and import in workers

End of slavery brought new challenges with finding exploitable workers

Coolies

Coolie Labor System emerges to supplant the African Slavery systems across the U.S. and the West

Coolie derived from the Hindu word for laborer/laborer class

Poor Chinese immigrants came as indentured servants (under exploitative contracts) to work in the us, taking jobs that many Americans didn't want to do

Agriculture

Building railroads

Mining

Laundry services

Running opium dens

Domestic labor

These workers endured similar conditions as African/African American slaves and were seen as inferior and suitable exploitable labor for similar reasons

The rise of Yellow Peril

In the late 19th century (1800s), there was growing anti Asian sentiment and Coolies were becoming the next Race "problem"

Growing in numbers

Many were making it economically

Competition over jobs and space that racial tensions high

Eventually racist violence exploded, and mobs attacked Asian communities in areas like Santa Ana, LA, San Francisco, and Berkley

Also known as "the driving out" period

The Chinese Exclusion Act

First directly racist law barring emigration of nonwhite people to the U.S.

Lasts 1882-1943

Rationale for the law predicated on keeping the country "white"

Sets the framework for discriminatory/racist immigration laws and is derived from targeted racist laws like Indian Removal and Indian Appropriation Acts.
