Multi-Racial

Examples of Multi-Racial in the following topics:

• Race and Ethnicity in the U.S.

  • The law makes it a crime for individuals to fail to have documents confirming their legal status, and is believed by critics to encourage racial profiling.
  • The United States is a very diverse, multi-racial and multi-ethnic country; people from around the world have been immigrating to the United States for several hundred years.
  • Instead, these racial designations were a means to concentrate power, wealth, land, and privilege in the hands of the European Americans.
  • For example, the racial category of "white" or European American fails to reflect that members of this group hail from very different countries.
  • They, too, have been subjected to racial prejudice.

• Religion and Other Social Factors

  • Only 8% to 10% of congregations in the U.S. today are multi-racial (meaning no one race/ethnicity makes up more than 80% of the congregation).
  • Today, predominately black churches and predominately white churches remain distinct with very few churches catering to mixed race congregations (though megachurches tend to be more multi-racial).
  • Emerson and Smith convincingly argue that white Evangelical Christians in the U.S., because of their belief in individualism, actually contribute to racial inequality.

• Clinton and Domestic Policy

• Jackie Robinson

  • Before multi-million dollar broadcasting contracts were the norm, teams relied almost exclusively on ticket sales to pay their expenses - spring training, travel, player salaries, stadium upkeep - and make a profit.

• Age and Race

  • There is evidence that black senior citizens are more likely to be abused - both physically and psychologically and suffer greater financial exploitation than do white senior citizens.Further, recent demographic profiles suggest that social aging varies across racial groups, and demonstrates that minority elders (especially Hispanic and African American identified) typically enter later life with less education, less financial resources, and less access to health care than their white counterparts.Finally, researchers have noted that minority groups' greater likelihood of facing patterns of structural disadvantage throughout the life course, such as racial discrimination, poverty, and fewer social, political, and economic resources on average, create significant racial variations in the stages or age-related trajectories of racial minorities and majorities that may be observed at all points of the life span, and contribute to disparities in health, income, self-perceived age, mortality, and morbidity.
  • As a result, sociologists often explore the timing (in both subjective and objective conceptualizations of age) of varied life events within and between racial groups while exploring ways that age-related disparities influence the structural realities and bio-social outcomes of people located within different racial groups.

• The Diversity Debate

  • Racial diversity in American schools remains a contentious political issue.
  • Does the government have a serious interest in the balancing of racial populations in education?
  • Does a racially diverse classroom support educational goals?

  • Since the mid-twentieth century, researchers have found that benefits of racial diversity in schools range from higher reading levels, increased likelihood of high school graduation, positive impact on work aspirations and higher educational attainment, greater interaction with other racial groups and creation of interracial friendships in adult life, and higher desire to live and work in racially diverse environments.

• Popular Culture
