@RafaelPatience The time alone can cause some to give up before being accepted,not to mention the price for such procedures can leave some people devastated for the fear of not getting in.
To immigrate to America,the process can be very costly and the steps to be allowed into America can be hard and confusing for people not from here#socl214
Redlining made it easier for people in good areas to get homes,while people who lived in not as good areas had a very hard time receiving loans to buy a house.#socl214
@gkins15 Many people are discriminated against within jobs for skin color,tattoos,hair and many more things. These Affirmative actions help cut down on these discriminative acts.
@raynquic Everyone wants to support their own people but are sometimes against supporting people from a different group. We would all be a lot further in life if we could understand that we are all people,and should support one another just based on that.
#socl214. “The commercial appeal of the white savior complex” in many films it will show that the white characters somehow save or do something to help the black characters because “they need white people to save them” giving a colonial effect
@j_lepiors Exactly, just because we fight for the rights of one group doesn’t mean they don’t still get discriminated against for other reasons.we need to abolish that whole mindset completely in order to have everyone living in unison.
#socl214 While fighting for rights we need to get rid of anything that may cause a person to be discriminated against. ex. We can fight for LGBTQ+ rights but a person of color who is associated with them may still be discriminated against within the group or in the outside world.
@EberleBrent It’s insane that the parents income plays that big of a role,not to mention that the creation of the SAT was made to show the intellectual differences between whites and minorities until it gained popularity and Brigham claimed his earlier conclusion were “without foundation “

Children raised in high salary homes are seen to have better SAT outcomes than children(mainly black and Hispanic) who are raised in inner cities. Major colleges also have fewer of these children attending because of the cultural and societal upbringings.
@angelgrvce Facts! My friend is middle eastern an is “put in the white/Caucasian” category but complains because he always felt that doesn’t pertain to him. Him being from a foreign country he seen himself as a minority
Unlike race,which is based on observable,physical traits, ethnicities aren’t. 2 people of the same ethnicity can be different races. Minorities are people who are set apart by physical differences no matter how big the population of them may be. #socl214
@Ashleysocl214 Literally lol,they used their corrupt observations as justification to categorize people and make themselves out to be the most superior/intelligent.🤦🏽♂️
#SOCL214 Linnaeus was the first scientist to connect skin color with moral traits. Labeling the native people as obstinate for not being cooperative while invading their land,and labeling African’s as lazy as justification to enslave them.
