Abstract
This essay will explore the complications of discussing race and racism in terms of other groups such as Aboriginals and Asians. I would argue that the prejudice directed against people of African heritage is of a fundamentally different order than that directed at other groups such as Asians. This fact suggests the inadequacies of racism as a broad concept, and indicates the need for a more careful revision of this concept.

From the Paper
"'Whiteness', Institutional Racism, and 'White Privilege'. Course materials indicating institutional racism pertain most often to British or American examples, and employing a jargon of 'privilege' that is interesting to examine in relation to contemporary Canada. One is to assume that the situations of these quite strongly racist societies are pertinent to Canada, in which racism certainly exists, but in a condition not to be compared with what is encountered in the others. Should we be examining institutional racism and white privilege in Australia, for instance, or other communal distinctions in India, or in Israel? An interesting approach is taken in John Hartigan's discussion of the American case, in reference to 'rednecks', 'hillbillies' and 'white trash', as marked racial subjects. (2003: 95-111) "

Abstract
People from other countries that enter America face a number of problems when trying to become a part of American culture, retain aspects of their own culture and find a personal and cultural identity within these surroundings. This paper shows that Asians in America have a particular dilemma because there is a complex dichotomy to their cultural identity within Western culture. It also looks at the stereotyping and racism that exists within American society towards the Asian culture and people.
From the Paper
"The pornography industry is highly populated with Asian women fulfilling the male desire for sexual stereotypes. Japanese schoolgirls in short skirts with lollipops and repressed sexual needs are a popular fetish. The subservient Geisha wife in kimonos, pale make-up, and most importantly donning a subservient, unthreatening, submissive sexual attitude is another. Look again and one is certain to find the "dragon lady" as mentioned above: the over-sexed, wild, uninhibited Asian girl looking to please as many White men as possible because she is uncontrollably lustful."

Racism and Whiteness in the United States, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the claim that racism is a pervasive social and political problem in the United States. It shows how abolition of slavery did little to improve the social status of black Americans, which is the reason why whiteness was and still is dominating America?s social fabric. The paper thus focuses on the important subjects of racism and whiteness in the light of intellectual research carried out by some famous activists and sociologists such as Robert Takaki and Bell Hooks.
From the Paper
"Whiteness is so intricately connected with issue of race relations in America that discussing the former always leads to explosive and controversial issue of racism. This is one reason why most of us would try to avoid talking about whiteness as it prevails in our country because we are afraid it might lead to issues that we want to desperately avoid. So what is it about whiteness and racism that add to their volatility and thus force us to bury them under heaps of pretensions and shallow discussions? I personally believe that discussions on racism and its close associate whiteness remain shallow because they can easily expose the problems that are still being faced by the minorities in our country. Though we would love to believe that after the abolition of slavery in 1860s, the race relations in the country improved and African-Americans were given their fair share of civil rights. But this is not exactly true. Racism still exists in our country and in some areas it is so harsh and prominent that one wonders if slavery was indeed ever abolished."

From the Paper
"The values, beliefs and customs of the dominant group in society are often reinforced by social institutions like the government, business, education and the media. The establishment of images in the media reinforces the values of the dominant group in American society, primarily white male Anglo-Saxon Protestants. When immigrant groups or other cultures are portrayed in the media quite often their representation is portrayed as somehow inferior to the superior portrayals of the dominant cultural group."

The paper then presents more figures that show the growth of the Asian community in Vancouver. The paper also discusses the subsequent growth of deviant subcultures, such as the subculture of young men that use the disposable income of their parents to drive recklessly and cause harm to others.
From the Paper
"Urbanism is well known to have sometimes negative consequences for people. This can be ironic, especially for families that immigrate to Canada to give their children the benefits of growing up in a modern Canadian city. Other families, such as some Asian families, send their children to live and study in Canada, while the parents work hard at home and send money to their children. Unfortunately, the outcome is not always as pleasant as the families expect."

Black, Whites and the Great Awakening, 2006.
A review of Mechal Sobel's book "The World They Made Together".
1,058 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how, using Thomas Luckman's components of world view, Mechal Sobel combines these factors to exhibit a sense of life and its purpose for the blacks and whites that worshipped side by side in eighteenth century Virginia. It explains that time, the natural world and explanations for causality and purpose are the three basic values analyzed by Sobel to determine the integration of world views between blacks and whites in early America.
From the Paper
"The Great Awakening was a spiritual event, and therefore the most notable example of the fusion of world views as presented by Sobel is the shared spiritual lives of the participants. The blending of beliefs created a religious structure that held components of both cultures, yet blended to form a uniquely American belief system. Whitefield's infusion of emotionalism into religious gatherings was an avenue for the music of the blacks to easily become a part of their religion. Unaccompanied song had been a tradition in Africa, both during the workday and as a method of celebration and ritual. The Anglican influence of the white worshippers was devoid of music, yet by adding emotion to the practice of religion, song was a logical extension of the emotion."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
Although considerable scholarship has been devoted to the accomplishments of the founding fathers and their role in liberating the colonies from Great Britain, the real heroes of the American Revolution were ordinary men. These men hailed from the lower strata of society, and included working class urbanites, rural peasants, immigrants, and blacks, both free and slave. Such men provided the muscle and participated in mob action against British tyranny. Mass movements such as these led to war in the American colonies.
Economic interests played a larger role in the American Revolution than many historians care to acknowledge. Granted, the ideals of freedom, liberty, and the rights of man were at the forefront in much of the rhetoric espoused by the founding.."

Abstract
This paper shows how the study of Whiteness is fraught with controversy. It explains that while many theorists confuse Whiteness studies with studies on racism, other theorists believe Whiteness is a social reconstruction. This paper explores the idea of Whiteness being a social reconstruction. Whiteness privileges are identified as well as characteristics of Whiteness that allows it to continue to survive in an era where political correctness and affirmative action are present in people’s minds. Examples of whiteness in different life areas are examined and “me too ism” as a defence and reaction on the part of white people are investigated.

From the Paper
"Whiteness is a value system that privileges certain people. Whiteness privileges itself as the standard in humanity. It is not primarily about ‘race.’ One major privilege of Whiteness is the seditious avoidance of responsibility even though it may be painted as an acknowledgment of responsibility. An example of this evasion of responsibility was demonstrated by the U.S., the U.K. and European powers at the World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) in South Africa in 2001. South Africa wished to discuss reparations for colonialism and the slave trade during the conference. However, the U.S., the U.K. and the European powers threatened to quit the conference if this discussion were to be allowed on the agenda since they did not believe it had anything to do with the present government administration of their respective countries. While each country expressed their regret at what happened to South Africa at the hands of their predecessors, they believed that the present governments should not be held accountable for previous governments’ crimes.

Abstract
This paper looks at the issue of racism in America, particularly as it relates to the dominant form of the dominant group in American society -white America - and its increasing importance in American society. Also examined is the perception white America has of itself and the historical development of this perception, as well as the image this perception has created of non-white America.
From the Paper
"Racial oppression is not the work of "racists." These days, racial oppression is reproduced largely without racial intent, by the mainstream institutions of the society: the schools, which define "excellence;" the job market, which defines "employment;" the welfare system which defines "poverty;" the family, which defines "kinship;" and of course the legal system, which defines "crime." "
