In reply to: Nadeen Kharputly wrote a new post on the site Ethnic Diversity in the City Hi everyone, Please reply to this thread with your responses (150-300 words) to this week’s readings. Some guidelines for f […] ViewI think I got mixed up with other articles.
Here is my new responseI have mixed thoughts about this article. On the one hand, this article is directly aimed at talking about how ‘liberals’ are not any more interested than non-liberals at having refugees relocated locally to their area. However, the delivery of this commentary seems to be…[Read more]

The movie itself is a commentary on issues of race, social class, morality, police brutality, and the humanity that is wrapped up in these complicated concepts. Throughout the movie we see all of the characters interacting wit…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewAfter reading the article, “Even liberals Can Be Refugee NIMBYs”, I’m thinking what is a “refugee” in context of Latin America, China, Pakistan, most of Africa? Someone who wants to emigrate here. In the Middle East where there actually are wars, there are true refugees, but they are from places where they were taught to hate the west, Jews (and…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewAfter reading the article, “How sanctuary cities work, and how Trump’s blocked executive order could have affected them” the existence of sanctuary makes sense from a certain perspective, and I think their argument is valid that they should not be held fiscally responsible for carrying out the job of the federal government. Immigration law is a f…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewIt seems hard to extract the scent of racism from the conversation about immigration in the United States, particularly since the election of Donald Trump and his appointing of Jeff Sessions, a person that has a strong reputation for actively being racist. This is when I first learned about sanctuary cities even existing. It doesn’t seem like l…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewThe article “What Killed Aiyana Stanley Jones” is very emotional, and really makes readers to think about the tragedy that happened in Detroit.
In the article, the part that the grandmother tried to stop the police from entering the house is still a mystery. From what we can tell, grandmother was sitting near Aiyana. And the author came up wit…[Read more]

Recently, I have watched a few documentaries on early Twentieth-century race relations and systemic racism and all I can really say is that it is a wonder that we have come this far. Further, I am always a bit shocked by the temporal nearness of these i…[Read more]

The intent was to exploit the labor of people of color while keeping them…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewFrom reading the article, “The Most Diverse Cities Are Often The Most Segregated,” I feel this is fascinating, but I think the headline and the article is little bit away from the point. Segregation is not simply just disdain of people. It is tied to economic disparity. That is what’s bad about it. Wealthy Jewish neighborhoods are segregated from…[Read more]
