Coloured - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thus, in KwaZulu-Natal, most coloureds come from British and Zulu heritage, while Zimbabwean coloureds come from Shona or Ndebele mixing with British and Afrikaner settlers. Griqua, on the other hand, are descendants of Khoisan and Afrikaner trekboers.

Middle East Report 224: Arabs, Race and the Post-September 11 National Security State, by Salah D. Hassan The Justice Department announced on August 12 its intention to implement the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) on September 11, 2002. The system involves the fingerprinting of "high-risk" foreign visitors. In addition, the program will require targeted foreign nationals to register their residence with authorities and to confirm their exit. According to a Justice Department statement, foreigners "will be selected according to intelligence criteria reflecting patterns of terrorist organizations' activities." But the system will begin by tracking "all nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria," though no nationals from these countries were involved in the September 11 hijackings.

UCOP Student Affairs: Publications Undergraduate Access to the University of California After the Elimination of Race-Conscious Policies see table on page 19

Prop 209: Ten Long Years Students and community activists agree that the ideal of "color blindness" that has come to dominate the way race is discussed (or not) in this country has presented the most difficult challenge to raising awareness about Prop 209's regressive effects on diversity. Eva Paterson, president of the Equal Justice Society and an African-American Berkeley Law School alum, believes there's a dire need to get the issue of race back on the table. "Color blindness is an absurd concept," she says. "The only way I can live in a color-blind society is if I have a bag over my head."

Passing (racial identity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Another example of passing: During World War Two in Nazi Germany and the rest of Europe, Jewish people who looked "Aryan" (had lighter hair and blue eyes) would try to pass for Aryan to avoid being shipped off to concentration and death camps by the Nazis. An extreme example is the story of Edith Hahn Beer; she was a Jewish woman who was able to “pass" as Aryan, and survived the Holocaust by living with and marrying a Nazi officer. Mrs. Hahn-Beer wrote a memoir called: The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust. [4]

South Africa: Honorary Whites - TIME It all recalled Hermann Göring's retort in 1934 when told that a favorite Munich art dealer was a non-Aryan: "I shall decide who is a Jew around here."

Honorary whites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Honorary Whites is a term that was used by the apartheid regime of South Africa as a designation for the Japanese people, which granted them almost all of the same rights and privileges as Whites (except for the right to vote, as well as being exempt from conscription), after a trade pact was formed between South Africa and Japan in the early 1960's, when Tokyo's Yawata Iron & Steel Co. offered to purchase 5,000,000 tons of South African pig iron, worth more than $250,000,000, over a ten-year period.[1] With such a huge deal in the works, Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd determined that it would be tactless to subject the Japanese people to the same restrictions as other non-White ethnicities, since trade delegations from Japan would now regularly visit South Africa for business. Thenceforth, Pretoria's Group Areas Board publicly announced that all Japanese people would be considered White, at least for purposes of resid...

One Drop: My Father's Hidden Life — a Story of Race and Family Secrets - Bliss Broyard - Books - Review - New York Times But for Broyard to construct a white identity required the ruthless and cowardly jettisoning of his black family. He would later lamely tell his children that their grandmother and their two aunts, one of them with tell-tale dark skin, simply didn’t interest him. During the 1960s, he expressed no sympathy for the civil rights movement, opposed, his daughter writes, to a movement that required “adherence to a group platform rather than to one’s ‘essential spirit.’ ”

Passing (racial identity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 20th-century writer and critic Anatole Broyard was a Louisiana Creole who chose to pass for white in his adult life in New York City and Connecticut, in part because he wanted to create an independent writing life. He married an American woman of European descent. His wife and many of his friends knew he was partly black. His daughter Bliss Broyard did not find out until after her father's death. In 2007 she published a memoir that traced her exploration of her father's life and family mysteries entitled One Drop: My Father's Hidden Life - A Story of Race and Family Secrets.

Center for Immigration Studies There do not seem to be any factors that can explain the precipitous drop in immigrant welfare participation in California. The California experience may indeed reflect a chilling effect but the chilling effect has nothing to do with welfare reform, and may have much to do with the enactment of Proposition 187.

3.29.2005 - Interview with Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau: Proposition 209 and its consequences at UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau has said that, upon his appointment as Berkeley's ninth chancellor last September, he expected to find some surprises waiting, both positive and negative. One "surprising and, indeed, shocking negative discovery," he says, has been the absence of "good relationships across cultural lines within the student body." This situation is most evident among the Latino, African American, and Native American students on campus, he says, and is "caused in large part, I believe, by the dramatic drop in their numbers."

California Proposition 187 (1994) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia California Proposition 187 (also known as the Save Our State initiative) was a 1994 ballot initiative designed to prohibit illegal immigrants from using social services, health care, and public education in the U.S. State of California.

Q&A: Black-White Relations in the U.S., Part II Attitudes toward marriage between blacks and whites are dramatically different across age groups. Teens surveyed in Gallup's periodic youth polls are remarkably more approving of interracial marriage than adults are. When adult approval stood at 64% in 1997, approval among 13- to 17-year-olds was at 83%. In this same teen survey, 17% of white teens said they had dated a black person and 44% of black teens said they had dated a white person. When those who had not had an interracial dating experience were asked whether they would ever consider interracial dating, 55% of white teens said they would consider dating a black person, and 61% of black teens said they would consider dating a white person.

MISCOUNTING RACE: EXPLAINING WHITES' MISPERCEPTIONS OF RACIAL GROUP SIZE CHARLES A. GALLAGHER Caliber - Sociological Perspectives - 46(3):381 - Abstract Survey research has documented the extent to which whites misperceive the size of the nonwhite population in the United States. However, the sociological reasons for this and the implications for race relations has yet to be adequately explored. This study uses individual interviews, focus groups, and opened-ended surveys to examine the explanations white respondents offer for inflating the size of U.S. minority populations. My findings suggest that the media, residential segregation, racial stereotypes, and perception of group threat each contribute to whites' underestimation of the size of the white population and the inflation of group size among racial minorities. How misperceptions of racial group size may inform race relations research is examined.

Estimating the Stability of Racial Classifications in Brazil This study presents a method to estimate the degree to which people change their racial/ethnic identity from one census enumeration to another. The technique is applied to the classification of skin color in Brazil (white, black, brown, yellow). For 1950/1980 period, the findings show a deficit of 38 percent in the black category, and a gain of 34 percent in the brown category, suggesting that a large proportion of individuals who declared themselves black in 1950 reclassified themselves as brown in 1980. Estimates for the 1980/1990 period, adjusted for the effects of international migration, reveal a similar pattern, although the magnitude of color reclassification may have declined somewhat during the 1980s. Procedures to determine the stability of racial/ethnic identity produce data especially useful to recent policy initiatives that rely on demographic censuses to measure changes in the status of minority groups in develo...

California QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. The racial classifications used by the Census Bureau adhere to the October 30,1997, Federal Register Notice entitled,"Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity" issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The OMB requires five minimum categories (White, Black or African America, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander) for race. The race categories are described below with a sixth category, "Some other race," added with OMB approval.In addition to the five r...
