Whites Believe They Are Victims of Racism More Often Than Blacks | Tufts Now However, whites believed that racism against whites has increased significantly as racism against blacks has decreased. On average, whites rated anti-white bias as more prevalent in the 2000s than anti-black bias by more than a full point on the 10-point scale. Moreover, some 11 percent of whites gave anti-white bias the maximum rating of 10 compared to only 2 percent of whites who rated anti-black bias a 10. Blacks, however, reported only a modest increase in their perceptions of "reverse racism."

Immigration's Aftermath Many children of immigrant parents are not living out the American dream. Until better jobs and schools materialize, they are at risk of becoming the next underclass.

Meet the New Optimists - Newsweek Generation 1, in this taxonomy, is the civil-rights generation—those (born before 1945) who participated in, or simply bore witness to, the defining 20th-century battle for racial equality. It is the generation of whites who, in large measure, saw blacks as alien beings and the generation of blacks who, for the most part, saw whites as irremediably prejudiced. Gen 2s (born between 1945 and 1969) were much less racially constrained—though they remained, in large measure, stuck in a tangle of racial stereotypes. Gen 3s (born between 1970 and 1995) saw race as less of a big deal. And that ability to see a person beyond color has cleared the way for a generation of Believers—blacks who fully accept that America means what it says when it promises to give them a shot. That new reality made itself clear when I compared black Gen 1 Harvard M.B.A.s with their Gen 3 counterparts. Seventy-five percent of Gen 1s said blacks faced “a lot” of discrimination, compar...

Multiracial Identity and the U.S. Census, ProQuest Discovery Guides In 1973 FICE produced a report on access to higher education among Chicano, Puerto Rican, and Native American students. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Caspar Weinberger latched on to the part of the report that explained the absence of useful data on ethnic and racial groups because of a lack of common definitions. A year later an ad hoc committee was formed to solve this problem, which developed guidelines to make "compatible" and "nonduplicative" categories of race used by all federal agencies. One of the stipulations was that racial categories could not be combined or overlapped. In effect, this reinforced the system of mutually exclusive racial categories, and it led to the creation of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Directive No. 15: Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity. The standard issued in 1977 defined five main racial categories.

The downside of diversity - The Boston Globe But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam -- famous for "Bowling Alone," his 2000 book on declining civic engagement -- has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings.

Tucson rampage: UC Berkeley chancellor's e-mail linking Tucson rampage to immigration issues draws fire - latimes.com He continued, postulating on factors that may have motivated Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged gunman in Saturday's shootings, in which six people died, including a 9-year-old girl, and 13 were injured, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.): "I believe that it is not a coincidence that this calamity has occurred in a state which has legislated discrimination against undocumented persons."

The New Jim Crow | The American Prospect In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as justification for discrimination, exclusion, or social contempt. Rather, we use our criminal-justice system to associate criminality with people of color and then engage in the prejudiced practices we supposedly left behind. Today, it is legal to discriminate against ex-offenders in ways it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you're labeled a felon, depending on the state you're in, the old forms of discrimination -- employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, and exclusion from jury service -- are suddenly legal. As a criminal, you have scarcely more rights and arguably less respect than a black man living in Alabama at the height of Jim Crow. We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.
