There’s fear of going to jail, but there is also fear of being deported and never being able to come to the USA. But why is that? It is true because many people want to support their family, give them a good future or even sometimes the children want a better future for themselves and help their parents into a better house and city. Not many people can get an opportunity like that, because immigration laws are too strict.
No innocent people like the Japanese Americans should have been punished or looked as bad people because of their ancestry. The bombing of Pearl Harbor caused the U.S. to fear the Japanese Americans, so they placed them in internment camps. Japanese Americans shouldn’t of been punished because most of them were born and raised on the West Coast. The condition of the camps were often not pleasant. Japanese Americans were viewed as alien and untrustworthy, and isolated from others. Life of a Japanese American was harsh and scary because you never knew what the mad people would do.
In one of Trump’s speeches he began it by comparing Mexican immigrants to “rapists” and “killers”. From there he tweeted about running candidate Jeb Bush’s wife about her began Mexican. One of his tweets says” #JebBush has to like the Mexican
"Demeaning people of Hispanic heritage is not just ignorant, it betrays the example of Christ,” Perry said. It’s time to elevate this debate from divisive name-calling, from soundbites without solutions, and start discussing how can we make this country better for all of us with real conservative values put into place.”
An anonymous (2016) author of the Wall Street Journal wrote an article about something called the Ferguson effect. The Ferguson effect is officers backing off proactive policing in minority neighborhoods, and the resulting increase in violent crime. Then the author goes to say this “effect is exclusively in black communities. Where the Black Lives Matter narrative about racist, homicidal cops has produced virulent hostility.” Then the author goes to give numbers and statics on how much the deaths have rose in cities like Houston, and Philadelphia. Then a Mr. Stringham dismisses the argument. Then he goes to give his own numbers and statics on the situation. Mr. Stringham concludes by saying “his
What would it be like to receive hate for being a certain color? Has there ever been equality? For centuries equality has been a problem. Some years there is total equality and some years there was division. Whether it was slavery from 1861-1865 or legalization of gay marriage in 2015 equality has taken many twists and turns. According to the Declaration of Independence we are all created equal and this is partially true and partially not, throughout the years equality has either existed or it was nonexistent.
Currently Donald Trump is the GOP frontrunner with over 13 points more than his closest competitor Ted Cruz and has about 34% support in the large political mess of the Republican Party Presidential Race. This is no more a joke that we can just laugh at and Trump needs to be looked at seriously as a contender and he should not be able to run for presidency when his political platform is based on insulting others due to their religion or country of origin and using vague and eccentric promises that break the backbone of this nation in order to fix these “problems”. The two demographics that have faced the brunt of these attacks are the Muslim and Mexican Communities however Trump has not resisted insulting women, multiple newspapers including

(Thesis) Donald Trump has been called out for his ridiculous statements, overconfidence and prejudice beliefs.
Those of Spanish-speaking descent have all experienced one of the following at least once in their lives: “Did you make those tacos yourself?”, “Are you Mexican?” When realization hits that this individual speaks a second language they ask, “So you speak Spanish?” or, “Say something in Spanish for me.” Followed by an awkward response of something that hardly skates passed a mere “Hola.” A rather important misconception coincides with the idea that all “Latinos” derive from Mexico, a colossal assumption that unfortunately stands as the most common perception. Essentially the word “Latino” is a diverse word applied to persons deriving from the numerous countries located in Central and South America, along with Mexico.
Modern society adapts to the views its people holds, which can explain why it seems so divided nowadays. It is as if no one can ever agree on anything. As a country, we are struggling to differ from right or wrong, keeping us on opposite sides. We have different views on everything, from how much gun control there should be to whether immigrants should be allowed and even what classifies as racism. Regarding culture and race, there are many instances which are offensive to some but brushed off by others. Because we should not “see color,” traditions created by people-of-color are being adapted by those who are not in the culture and then passed off as a trend. Instead, Latino culture and other marginalized groups are still being looked down upon while the customs they create are popularized and appropriated. So first, we will discuss what cultural appropriation really is. Then, we will hear about examples of it in Latino culture. Finally, we will explain
As Donald Trump was the one who inspired the two men to attack the homeless man, many people chose to blame him for what they did. Even though, Donald Trump had said his followers are just passionate for this country, he did not force or threat the two men to beat and urinate the homeless man. The two men chose to do it for no good reason, but, yet people accuse Donald Trump for this problem. The two men should be ones blame for their own action since they found nothing but, pleasure leaving bruises and broken bones to a innocent homeless Latino man. They should be the ones to blame from their own fighting and admitting that it was their fault. Beating another human being is becoming such a common thing in today’s society, where it is easy
Racism has always been the “elephant in the room”: everyone knows it’s there but no one really seems to acknowledge its. It has been affecting Latinos for a very long time now and it is something that people are still trying to fight against today. Latinos have been stereotyped, hated against, and treated badly simply for being of a different race. It seems like the discrimination against them can be seen everywhere. Many had hoped that by now racism would have stopped being a problem but the fact is that it 's still a relevant issue that affects millions of Latinos. While it is evident that racism against the Latino community is still a problem that impacts Latinos negatively, there are many forces that are doing all they can to put a stop
In bell hooks’ passage entitled “Representing Whiteness in the Black Imagination” hooks describes whiteness as a privilege that coloured people do not have. In the passage hook mentions “whiteness” as purity but then also comes out with a past that changed how people view the white race. I personally knew that race had a huge impact on our society and has never changed from the past it has just continued on. White people are always treated disparate than people of colour. People of colour are acknowledged as being rowdy, loud voiced, more physical, rude, etc. Meanwhile white people are recognized in the society as respectful, kind, soft hearted people. I do not think that
For many Americans, Trump is seen as the long-awaited saviour of the nation. Others see him as the man to start World War III.
