The image I have attached for this week is a screenshot of a quote from a reading that expresses a negative image Mexican as well as Black folks in relation to rap music. The article focuses on the participation of Asian American EDM events and the reasoning behind their participation. While conducting interviews from Asian American individuals that participate in such events some confusion existed. Some interviewees decided to participate in EDM music as a form of assimilation to white culture. I decided draw from the article because for me, the main takeaway was the association that certain music genres have with certain people. Rap or hip pop music is commonly associated with crime, drugs or other negative things. The same music is also attached to the communities of people of color which is bring negative attention to the group. In this sense, the association of certain genre to a a specific group can promote segregation and the debate of who belong where in the music industry.

The picture I have attached this week is the cover of an online article that share multiple stories of the strong English only sentiment that has risen in the Trump-era. This article is explaining how many people are attacked (mostly by a white person) for speaking a foreign language in a public space. In this example it become evident that some individuals assume that speaking a foreign language that they do not understand is automatically related to the believe that they are talking trash about the individual who cannot understand. This is a sentiment that is spreading as individuals continue to practice their native language. However the part that I find most disturbing is the fact that many times in the job market employers commodify the ability to speak a foreign language. This raises a question on when it is acceptable to know a second language and when is it not acceptable.

The image I have attach is a screenshot of the website to a campground which I frequently visited when I was a kid. I decided to share this campground because this weeks theme brought back memories of the times I visited this camp site. It is titled “La Jolla Indian Campground” which triggered an interest to investigate the history of the land. As stated in one of the sources attached, ” The La Jolla Reservation lies within traditional Luiseño territory”. As a kid little did that I know that the land belonged to Indian tribes and now as a adult I learned that it was actually commodified by the U.S. From what I recall the campground site had no signs or anything that provided background information on the land. All in all, this campground is another example to the making “America’s best idea”. After learning the history behind the land and how it has been manipulated by U.S to maximize profit, I would personally reconsider attending the location.

For this weeks photo share assignment I decided to analyze incarceration by looking into the crime rate of natives compared to immigrants. In the article shared below, it is mentioned how the President is constantly refers to immigrants as a security threat to natives. He is arguing that allowing for immigrants to enter the country is allowing security threats and crime into the country. Using evidence from various studies, the author shows that immigrants are actually less likely to commit crimes when compared to natives. Personally I would argue that this is because immigrants tend to follow the rules because they DO NO want to bring negative and unnecessary attention to themselves. All in all, I selected this article because it compliments how the mass incarceration rate of people of color is in fact the legal way segregating non-natives.

The image I have selected to share is a screenshot of a video explaining school segregation have evolved since the Brown v. Board of education event. I decided to screen shot this specific image because it highlights that during the 1970s and 1980s when a movement was made that pushed for integration it was actually having a positive effect of the black students at NO COST to the white students. With studies like the one mention in this video on integration it becomes evident that the white individual’s are under a false impression that integration slows down the white students. Additionally, the video goes on to explain other topics that we have already discussed in class such as white flight and how that affects to demographic of school based on community.

The image attach is an event from December of 2018 in which a high school athlete, Andrew Johnson, was a victim of an act of racism by the referee of his wrestling match. Johnson was given 90 seconds by the referee to make a decision on whether he would cut off his dreadlocks or forfeit the match. He took the decision to cut off his dreadlocks and participate in the wrestling match but the aftermath of such experience will haunt the athlete forever. This event is a clear manifestation of the racial discrimination against people of color with respect to their culture and practices.

The image that I have attached are a comparison between 2 high schools in San Diego that are 18 miles (rough 20-30 minute drive) away from each other yet the demographics of the student population is so different. The demographics in the left are correspondent to a high school located in Southeast San Diego, the right side is a high school in La Jolla. I decided to compare both high schools because I strongly believe that this is a perfect example of the consequences following the segregation that existed in the US history and how it is still very much alive today. One of the narrators from the first video we watched in class made a comment along the lines that school segregation is worse than what it was before and this is proof to the statement. I would argue that this is directly connected to the community that surrounds the schools, and how segregation in community has transcended to segregate schools which will then be reflected in careers/professions.

One of the themes for this week was the ideology of space and who belongs within certain boundaries. I was born and raised in San Diego, but the community I grew up in is remarkably different from a 15 minute drive up North. The I-8 is one of the multiple interstates (freeways) that runs in the East-West direction in San Diego. However, being born and raised South of the I-8 has a different meaning than it is to be born North of I-8. South of I-8 are communities that are predominantly people of color meaning that the resources, attractions, education, lifestyle, and just about anything else one can think of is limited. On the other hand, the communities North of the I-8, which are predominantly white, they do not know what it means to have limits given their economic well-being.
The images I have attach are both the same except that one is viewed in a map format rather than a still image. The image is showing the redlining that existed in San Diego between 1936-1939 in which you can see that the division among the communities was I-8. Despite the fact the event took place a long time ago, the aftermath in the city remains intact.
