Hello Prof. Manock and fellow Classmates, Namely, prejudices are formed from one’s upbringing, family background, influences of the media as well as, world history.

As my own personal opinion, Donald Trumps is also recreating this act of cruelty with the Hispanic community. As he states “I will be a wall as big as China to keep the out of our country”. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/donald-trump-i-would-force-mexico-build-border-wall How do they impact individuals and society this promotes stereotypes along with, intentional cruelty,

  • Stereotypes: Race Relations In The United States

    Being a fast food worker for the past year and a half, I have been exposed to numerous different types of people, and most of them are not the same race as me. When I first started to get to know them, even though at times there was difficulty communicating, we were able to make it work and build stronger relationships. One of my favorite managers was Rose, a Hispanic woman who had been so kind to me. She was an example of someone who was able to teach me things about herself I could have stereotyped and not taken the time to learn anything about her as an individual. Growing up in Joliet, Illinois has always given me the opportunity to experience race relations on a regular basis, just due to the diversity of the city that I live in.

    Trump the Racist Don’t worry, none of this is offensive, Trump says, because he “loves the Mexican people” and “the Latinos love Trump.” Donald Trump’s relationship with his business partners has been in a spiraling down as he continues to refuse to apologize for his outrageous behavior. Trump has turned down every opportunity to take back his remarks regarding Mexican immigrants. Instead every time he talks about these issues they have only grown worse and more out of control.

    Along those same lines, whites would perpetuate black stereotypes in order to further emphasize why they could not let them testify in court. According to (Carlin 2016), the first stereotype was that Black people were less intelligent than White people. If this were true, the events of a crime would not be given accurately. Secondly, they were thought to be dishonest and this would impede a conviction. Lastly, they were seen as violent, so if their crime was deemed violent it became an automatic guilty decision for them.

With the recent political debates in full swing taking stabs at foreign policy, racial profiling and bias have increased significantly towards Mexican immigrants and their descendants causing prejudice towards them in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools.

    277 Words  | 2 Pages

    Racial or any profiling compiles behavioral characteristics associated with particular criminal actions, creating an original form of a yet unknown people who might be more likely than others to perpetrate the crime. The serial killer profiling was generated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which use crime scene evidence that implies the character of the perpetrator and helps narrow the scope of analysis. It was based on lengthy interviews with 33 convicted killers, an actual grounding like to the drug carrier sketch of Operation Pipeline (below). Racial profiling results when a complicated set of factors (which can include race) including a particular criminal profile are torn away in practice, transformed into an unjustified reduction: “Minorities are more prone to have drugs or commit additional crimes than are whites.”

    As described in the text, institutional discrimination is caused from governmental policies and public institutions, which favor the more dominant groups but offer no support for the less dominant group. I believe that institutional discrimination is apparent in today 's society. The video provided, "Race the House we Live in," explains that individuals came from all over to enter into America (California Newsreel, 2010). This was referred to as a melting pot; however, policies favored white immigrants (California Newsreel, 2010). I think that institutionalized racism prevents our society from being the best it can be.
