293 Words2 Pages

In the novel Anthrax Connexion Steve exemplifies several acts of racism. Steve made the assumption that the terrorists responsible for killing innocent civilians with the anthrax were Arabs. He proclaimed this several times as he believed that all Arabs and Muslims are terrorists. This inevitably turns out to be a false accusation as they were not involved in the terrorist acts. In society, it is easy to make assumptions about the colour of people’s skin, culture or religion if you are not part of it and are ill-informed. Steve also displayed acts of disrespect towards the Muslim religion. When talking to Omar Arahmad Steve instated “Fichue religion d’extreistes!” (Steve, 95)

  • Examples Of Intrinsic Racism

    114 Words  | 1 Pages

    Intrinsic racists believe that each race has a different moral status that are independent from moral characteristics that come from moral essences. Being the same race as someone else entails preferring that person over another who is not of the same race. For example, we have a greater moral interest in our biologically related brother than in a stranger. Intrinsic racists will never hold that someone who has greater capabilities, but is not of their race, is admirable or will receive the same treatment to someone of their own race. Just as intrinsic sexists will hold that the pure fact that someone is a woman is a reason for treating her a certain

  • Emenike Stereotypes

    1053 Words  | 5 Pages

    Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer (2009:342) argue in the Du Bois Review that “racism is much broader than violence and epithets” and reveals itself in common, everyday microaggressions. In May 2010, a string of assaults on elderly citizens of Asian descent by black individuals transpired in the San Francisco Bay area (Shih 2010). CBS San Francisco ran a segment covering the attacks featuring an interview with a 21-year-old black man named Amanze Emenike, who had a criminal history of juvenile robbery and theft (CBS 2012). CBS uses Emenike’s history as a basis for theorizing the motives driving the black attackers in the May 2010 attacks. This news segment sheds light on troubling portrayals of black men and people of color in mass media as all being dangerous criminals, as well as the stereotypes fueling racism amongst minority groups.

    Defining a Racist On the FBI website the statistics for hate crimes committed in 2015, 59.2% of hate crimes were against African-Americans. A hate crime is defined as a crime committed against a certain group of person(s) which is why we need to define what a racist or racist comment is. Defining what a racist is could help decrease the amount of hate crimes committed against either Anglo or African-American people. Defining what a racist is could also help alleviate some tensions between Anglos and African-American, Jewish people and Christians, and Pakistanis and Indians. Malcolm Gladwell’s definition of racism helps clear out the misunderstanding and tension that some comments like Michael Irvin’s about Tony Romo’s athletic ability create.
