Ethnic Racial Discrimination

708 Words3 Pages

As an average person, I have seen many incidences of ethnic and racial discrimination. Knowing the problem, I feel very bad thinking about the situation of the human being facing such inhumane acts.
Following these, some people tend to upload clips about the act on social media. What is the impact of these videos? Should they be allowed?

One of the many incidences is about Mohammed who is an Iranian Ph.D. candidate who recently was thrown off a Greyhound bus in the middle of the night because of his name.
Enrolled at the University of Texas, he was traveling from Texas to Missouri, for an academic conference. After the driver saw the ticket, he was told that he would need to exit the bus immediately. Now, after recording the video of the …show more content…

In the video, a few people in front of him seemed to be their only supporters in using different languages. The others claimed to be "uncomfortable" with it. The enraged youtuber remained confused about the situation calling everyone racist and disgusting. Suggesting to have the people feeling uncomfortable to leave, the employees supported the opinion of the others. What is truly disgusting is how many people started waving to him saying "bye!" in a very disgusted tone. Some said, "Get off the plane!". This clearly is because of stereotypes as this would not be the language humans use with other humans. Being innocent, he faced ethnic discrimination to its worst. The impact of rare incidences that America faced had caused all Americans to think differently about people. The video, with currently six million views, has enraged many viewers on all social media platforms. I think that this issue has been gone long enough. Most Americans believe in stereotypes that have never made any sense and this has caused uncomfortable situations that can scar the victim 's …show more content…

Being stopped by the police, he had clearly stated that he was carrying a licensed gun. I think that stating this made it clear that he wasn 't going to harm the officer. He also clearly said that he was taking out his ID from his wallet so that he can show it to the officer. The officer then shoots Philando in the arm. Everything being live-streamed on Facebook, it was visible that the officer had gained a tone of panic yet he still had the gun pointing at wounded Philando. Taking her out of the car, they tied her to a pole and threw her phone which was still streaming. Then detained in a patrol car, she felt helpless as the police performed CPR on her boyfriend while she was alone with her young daughter who was also in distress. Philando was then taken to a hospital and died.
The Minnesota governor then attended a press conference. In this, he said, "Would this have happened if the driver was white? I don 't think it would 've. So this kind of racism exists". Saying this, he is stating how much racism there is. Saying that it wouldn 't have happened if the driver was white means that blacks and whites are not treated equally and whites are considered superior for no apparent

  • Racial Discrimination In Law Enforcement

    930 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the greatest challenges law enforcement are facing is providing effective policing for minority communities. Some factors that prevent minorities from gaining access to justice or being taken advantage of certain criminal justice services are language barriers, racial stereotyping, and cultural differences. Since the 30 's and 40 's, and even during the 60 's, civil rights activists damaged the police-minority relations in the United States, believing that police only interest are protecting white communities. A big explanation of why there 's a poor police-minority relations in the United States is racism on the part of the individual officers. Many minorities in the United States have continued to complain about being treated more harshly than whites and the Department of Justice believes that racial profiling and police discrimination will continue to be a big problem.

    Spent 3 years being tortured in jail for a crime he did not commit, almost sentenced to life in jail for a murder he had no part in, these are just two examples, coming from 12 Angry Men and the Kalief Browder Story, and everyday stories like these happen, all due to biases. It is so common that people don’t even notice them, most are considered normal. People come to assume certain things from groups of people. It’s not a big deal when people hear someone from a rough area committed a certain crime, people expect that, but when someone from a nice area does the same thing that’s when people make a big deal out of it and don’t believe it. Biases have always been and will always be the cause of false justification in the world.
