Noughts and Crosses, Racism
Dear Mr. Davies,
I was wondering if we can have strawberries at the salad bar. Could we also have strawberry smoothie for children under year 7-8.
About the strawberries. If you had not much time left to cut them, it does not matter because you can just rinse them under the water and put them in a bowl ready for lunch.
Sometimes when I would like a jacket potato the sign on the board will say `JACKET POTATO AVAILIBLE EVERY DAY` but when I come up to the dinner ladies they say there is no more left. But if they had no more potatoes from year5.Year6, 7, 8 will not have any because all the young ones had eaten them all. So if there are no more potatoes left they should take the sign down otherwise we will get confused, or cook some more. Also once I was going to have a jacket potato Tabitha was in front of me and she also wanted a potato so when she asked the dinner lady,the dinner lady gave her one and said she can have the last one as well so I could not have any.
Sometimes even on the cutlery there is still mashed peas on them and if there was jam tart for pudding there will be sticky jam on it to.
And also sometimes (not all the times) there is some hair in the food so some of us would like the dinner ladies to wear a hair nets.
Kind regards Marie-Claire

    The divine wind racism

    The community of Broome before the advent of World War II in The Divine Wind at first appears to be an idyllic town in which Malays, Koepangers, Japanese, Manilamen and Australians all work in relative harmony in search of the elusive pearl. Hartley Penrose, the central narrator of the novel, seems to enjoy describing the tropical existence of Broome and its harmony: “mangoes and barramundi on the table”, “the half-dozen languages, the slap of sandals and bare feet.” But for all its seeming harmony, Broome is a town where racial tensions simmer just under the surface and evolve into a blatant racism with the coming of the war. The sadly ignorant and inappropriate behaviour of the community of Broome demonstrates how challenging it is for communities to accept cultural and racial differences.…

    Society today is one big melting pot. People bring their customs and cultural traditions and it conglomerates with others creating these norms we follow. We live by, what time has created over time, a status quo, or social rights and wrongs. In the passage, Eating with Your Hands, the author opens the topic about etiquette, one of the major social controversies. She talks about why some foods are only acceptable to be eaten with proper utensils while others can be “finger food”. It’s true—but why is that a known rule? And why is it frowned upon? The passage has some background history of people groups within certain countries eating food with their hands, and how it almost gives an individual a better sense of what he or she is eating. The author brings up how it’s the meeting of the soul and the skin; whereas silverware places a distance between you and your…

    Racism is a touchy subject that has been major issue ever since its initial startup. Racism is the hatred towards a person or population of a certain race. The United States has taken huge leaps in equality, but there is still a long ways away from completion. Racism has always existed in America. When the nation was in its younger years, people owned people. People of the African American descent were considered property under the eyes of the law. How insane is that? Progress was made since then, but racism has only evolved. In the 1950s, whites and blacks were segregated to the point where they could not go to the same schools or even use the same bathrooms. Throughout A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry criticizes the state Of America…

    This first source is a scholarly source titled Probing the Epidemic of Police Murders by Steve Martinot. The article focuses on police brutality and racism by exploring different incidents that occurred in recent history, incidents similar to the Trayvon Martin incident or the most recent Michael Brown incident. In each one, it talks about what actually occurred in the incident, how police tried to cover up their actions, and then focuses on how the media or government focused on the impact of the incident on the white individuals that were involved instead of the black individuals or other racial groups that were involved. It also talks about the history of police brutality and the need for police obedience when it comes to violence.…

    Racism

    In the novel Maus II by Art Spiegelman you hear first hand from a survivor of Auschwitz the experiences of the holocaust and the horrific consequences of racism. Race is something that has developed over time and is constantly changing. Race is something that is seen differently by different people. “There is a continuous temptation to think of race as an essence, as something fixed, concrete, and objective. And there is also an opposite temptation: to imagine race as a mere illusion” (Michael Omi and Howard Winant, Racial Identity 183). Race can be seen as something concrete or as something changing. “The effort must be made to understand race as an unstable and “decentered” complex of social meaning constantly being transformed by political struggles” (Michael Omi and Howard Winant, Racial Identity 183). Race hasn’t been and will never be something that is set in stone and will never change. As society progresses and changes over time, so will the definition and make up of race and racism. “We should think of race as an element of social structure rather than as an irregularity within it, we should see race as a dimension of human representation rather than an illusion” (Michael Omi and Howard Winant, Racial Identity 184). The most common definition for race (the word definition is used very lightly because race is something that is always changing) is “race is a concept which signifies and symbolizes social conflicts and interests by referring to different types of human bodies” (Michael Omi and Howard Winant, Racial Identity 183). Race is something that distinguishes “different” human beings apart from one another. Sometimes in the end result of this some humans are put “higher” or at a level of greater important than others.…

    Racism has always been a problem in the United States, as well as in other parts of the world. Throughout time, people have discriminated against others because of their ethnicity. In ancient India, the cast system was developed around skin color, in order to distinguish between social classes. It was a quick, easy way to tell someone’s economic and social status just by looking at them. Nowadays, we still fight against racism. Although it is not as prevalent as it used to be, it still exists in our capitalist economy. Racism and capitalism go hand-in-hand.…
