blog 4 (race & culture

Now that I’m halfway through the semester, it has been a wonderful experience to take a cluster involving Race and Culture. This liberal arts cluster includes English, sociology and anthropology. My connections throughout the various classes I’m taking, is about the human interactions either to society or as a person. I used to consider race specifically as a country. I’ve never learned beyond the differences between race and ethnicity. On my personal view I’ve learned that race doesn’t exist even though in Slave and Citizen by Frank Tannenbaum the society considered race to be a very moral importance through society and that the ideal dominant color was set to be white. In our Anthropology class race does not exist ethnicity is only based from cultural backgrounds, what we believe and do in our daily lives. This had really changed the way I think because according to my anthropology teachers we have African backgrounds and the ideology of the mestizos. We should think twice in responding when someone asks what is your race?

Islamic hate crimes

This chart describes the hate crimes towards the Islamic community in the United States in the last fourteen teen years. The graphs show the melting pot in 2001 covered in black, which was the highest rate of Islamic hate crimes in history. There were 481 cases of hate crime in the U.S In my conclusion I believe the hate crime raised its highest in 2001 just because the fall of the twin towers in New York City was an essential historic period in which the United States enforced more security in streets and subways. Later the United States held sort of responsible all the Islamic community living in the city. White Citizens primordially contained a bias thinking towards the Islamic as terrorist and not as equal. Any Hispanic or black looking Islamic was searched unfairly without any justifications. Our hate crime in the United States are very common in our society, we get picked on and later treated like a criminal without proving innocence. Paying high prices by others actions it’s unfair.
