Pizza Place: Racist Comments To The Gay Community
I would like to share another example. There was this famous pizza place in the town where I live, the business was always very busy and lots of customers, the food is amazing. One day, the son of the owner started making racist comments to the gay community on his Facebook page, and people took those comments very serious and started making lot of bad publicity to the pizza place. People were very mad and stopped going to the pizza place, and even thought it wasn’t the owner who made those comments, the sales went down, and the business is not as successful as it was.

    Dealing with Society: Brent Staples' "Black Men in Public Places"

    Staples used another example where it strengthened an impacted his writing. While he was working as a journalist in Chicago a huge mistake was made. He was “…rushing late into the office of a magazine…with a dead line story in hand, [he] was mistaken for a burglar. The office manager called security and, with an ad hoc posse, pursued [him] through the labyrinthine halls, nearly to [his] editor’s door” (Staples 106). He had no form of identification and continued to walk with the security guards without putting up a fight to truly claim his post there as a journalist. This case made a point where the audience can sympathize with this sort of discrimination.…

    Politically Incorrect Language Analysis

    Imagine a young boy with autism who struggles to interact socially. Other children consider him unintelligent, and they have no trouble making him aware of their opinions. They call him names like retarded, dumb, and ignorant, but he cannot change the condition he has, so he withstands the insults. Even though the other children never strike him with their fists, the harsh words they use are just as intense. Politically incorrect terms, like “retarded,” that are used to hurt others are degrading, impudent, and should not be used.…

Because is in the top 1% he can get away with it because the members in his social group this behavior is acceptable. The second that comes to mind is the dehumanization of the homeless population.

    Examples Of Reverse Oppression

    Affirmative Action is a bad example, but it as one solid example that a lot of people have heard of. Affirmative Action is an idea that was taken further than it needed to go, and if it had been done well it could have been beneficial to people of minorities. If Affirmative Action or any other program like it had focused more on financing people of minorities who had less money for college, or looking closer at the real test scores, grades, and accomplishments of everyone, things would be easier and it could be possible that people would be more comfortable with the idea. Instead, people focus on the negative, and talk about the fact that more people of the majority are “missing out on opportunities” or that minorities are “taking advantage of the government’s programs and…

    Racism In Popular Culture

    Cofer’s passage reminded me of the many stereotypes that exist in popular culture today. Contrary to popular belief, electing an African American as President of the United States does not mean that racism is dead. Furthermore, Hispanics are not the only victims. While Cofer focuses mainly on the more obvious forms of racism, I’d like to call attention to the more subtle mentions. For example, recently I read an article for a class that discussed the racism faced by Middle Easterners in the United States. In the article, the author blamed popular culture for proliferating negative stereotypes. The Disney movie “Aladdin” was utilized as an example of such racism. Such racism can be seen in the lyrics of “Arabian Nights,” which states:…

    Moulattos: The Root Cause Of Racism Today

    Racism again still continues today through inter mixing of African Americans with other races in the world. Sambo is a person who is mix race mainly African heritage and other race. However in the movie, African and African American build families with White people which are called “mulattos”. In other situations, African people mix with Native Indian people is another kind of Sambo ethnicity. Bu engaging in this behavior such as in today’s present time, many families and other cultures are highly negative to other cultures mixing in their race. For example, my friend is a Filipino born in the Philippines however he now lives here in the United States for 10 years. He tells me that “ my relatives most of the time tells me to find a Filipina…

    Argumentative Essay On Jeremy Lin

    A case in point, the corporate world of advertisement tried to cash in on “Linsanity”. Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory tried capitalizing on Jeremy Lin by coming up with a new flavor called “Taste the Linsanity”. The ingredients were basically vanilla ice-cream with a hint of caramel and the addition of fortune cookies. Many members of the Chinese/Taiwanese American community cried foul in this instance, as it did play to some degree more or less on Lin’s Chinese/Taiwanese heritage. In response, an Asian American protestor went as far as to picket the Ben & Jerry’s store on Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco. He held a sign that read, “Taste of Lebron – Watermelon and Fried Chicken in every scoop”. Now piggy-backing on another racial stereotype isn’t exactly politically correct, but it did bring awareness. “Taste of Linsanity” quickly made its way off of shelves and into trash cans. However, it wasn’t only corporate America playing on stereotypes for publicity. It was the Asian American community itself looking to address positive stereotypes. In the Youtube video “Superior Lintellect” by studio64comedy, creators Lawrence Kau and Kunal Dudheker (both Americans born of Asian descent) portray Lin solving complex math equations in his mind in order to best his competition during tough situations on the basketball court. Each playback of Lin’s…

    The Problem Of Homophobia

    Homophobia is very prevalent amongst officers who encounter homosexuals who they feel are violating the law. Many LGBTQIA people have been sexually violated in South America due to police hating allies. Raping someone is that act of choosing to violate someone's personal space after being told no. CNN, Senior Latin American Affairs Editor, Marilia Brocchetto uttered, “At 26 years old, the Peruvian gay man was arrested by police officers while heading home shortly after midnight. Throughout the six hours he was in police custody, he says, he was stripped, raped with a baton and verbally abused by police officers before being let go. All of this, he says, because of his sexuality.{sic}” The hypermasculine behavior that police project towards…
