Blog Entry #9 Race and Ethncity

 Race and ethnicity is a subject here in our society that people try to look past but but dont over look if that even makes sense. I hear this quite frankly that it doesn't matter you're race and ethnicity we are all one the human race. I find this to be a bit of an oldclichés in a sense. Because for one we all do look different and thats what makes each race and ethnicity peculiar. An to this day many people dont understand the basic educit of others who look different from us.

For centuries encounters between different races and ethnic groups that have been recorded has not always been postive. Many issues have led to this negative interaction. one language, culture, religion and just the difference in physical apperance can be a detourent for many outside ones racial group or ethnic group.

Here in this society we've struggled with the issue of race and ethnicity for a long time. Different races and ethnic groups tend to have a standard of sterotypes which people tend to take in and be closed minded on so it leads to more than not a negative out look. But that comes with the price with so many groups of people living under one nation who haven't always been surrounded with others who look different are come from different places.

In america there have been many clashes with ethnic groups and races over the centuries. First there were many wars and bottles with natives americans and white european settlers. Then also with blacks which were brought here from africa they were enslaved because whites felt they were inferior. Now it isn't that drastic but there are still a bit of social and economic advantages for various races and ethnic groups within our society. Due to educational opportunities and cultural backgrounds and even different sterotypes.
