Latino Racial Profiling Research Paper

269 Words2 Pages

Latino Racial Profiling As coming from a Hispanic heritage, I’ve experienced being called “A Mexican who crossed the border”. America is the land of opportunities and freedom. Freedom that should be shared by all, not just whites, “Latinos are affected the same way that African-Americans are” (Alba-Panama)”. Latino racial profiling is bad because it’s illegal and not all Latinos cause harm. Judging a book by it’s cover most of the time always is the opposite of what you judge them by. First of all, discrimination based on race, is illegal “Latinos are affected the same way that African-Americans are” (Alba-Panama) discrimination was outlawed in the Civil Rights movement in 1960. It’s not civil for people to discriminate others “These cases

  • The Latino Threat Summary

    541 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Leo R. Chavez’s ethnography, The Latino Threat: Constructing Immigrants, Citizens, and the Nation, the claimed problem of Latino immigration, specifically Mexicans, is tackled using interviews, statistics, and other works of literature. Chavez’s ethnography not only discusses Latino immigration but Latino invasion, integration, organ transplants and even Latina fertilization. One of Chavez’s big topics is on how the media influences the public to believe that Latinos are planning an invasion or take-over in order to gain the land that was originally Mexico’s. The topic of Latina reproduction and fertilization comes up multiple times through Chavez’s ethnography. Another main topic that plays a part in Chavez’s argument is the Latino role in public marches and the citizenship aspect of their actions.

  • How Does Dagoberto Gilb Make Urrea Invisible

    115 Words  | 1 Pages

    I think that Dagoberto Gilb really made a great point to connect to what Urrea was trying to say about the history of the boarder in his book. Gilb talks about how the people of Arizona and even all over the country like to pretend that Latinos are almost invisible. They are given no credit for actually giving Arizona and other places the culture it has which many white people seem to love. Urrea gives the history that he does to inform you that Latinos have been in what we call America much longer than any white people have. Yet they are treated like they are lesser people because they have a different skin

    This seven letter name secures my oppressed fate within the legal system, the university setting, and the job market. Because there is an attempt to quantify and biologically define race, this precedes the oppressive and injustice factors I may face by systematic racism. I have often been turned down for jobs despite my qualifications, most likely due to the negative connotations attached to the Spanish name given to me. Hypothetical and symbolic titles are inaccurately assumed to predict one’s capability and worth. This is especially true with the negative implications attached to the brown community, such as laziness, untrustworthiness, ignorance, and lack of education.
