I have to write an essay, any type(informative, persuasive, narrative, etc.) about racism. However, racism is too broad of a topic, therefore I need to find a sub-component of it, kinda, and make a statement on it in my writing. But, what could I write about? I thought prejudice or stereotyping, but I don't think that directly qualifies as racism, so I need something else. Any ideas? Also, I need serious replies, not something stupid, so, either say something significant or nothing at all. Thank you.
Topic of Racism (Need Help)
- Thread starter S O F I

the KKK would be easy.. just write an informative on that
you could argue whether or not affirmative action is another form of racism
you could talk about South Africa and how the blacks were suppressed down there. i know a little bit about that if you choose to do it.
umm... trail of tears and the other racist acts of the US gov't against the native americans
there's a couple for ya

I have written an essay on racial profiling for politics a while ago. This was world politics and I compared Canada (with the recent racial profiling cases; where a black politician actually said that black youth should be stopped and searched at random), the UK, and the USA.
It was a quick write since I know many people who have actually been racially profiled by cops and many other groups of people.
Read a lot of books and a bunch of laws especially the new Patriot Act which deals with terrorists.

lmao.
heres a piece of my paper..see if it helps.
"Staples’ story telling methodically sheds light on this subject, directing it to the general public but also dividing it into “attacker” and “victim” groups. To the supposed and stereotyped “attackers” he shows them how a lot of people think and react to them. To them, he conveys a message of presenting yourself and how each presentation comes with territory. He tries to show that if one dresses and acts like a stereotypical “thug” he or she will have to accept inevitable reactions. Despite their actual involvement in stereotypical activities, the notion is conveyed by their attire.
To the “victims”, Staples’ clearly illuminates the fact that even through they have every right to be frightened of people who are of certain nationality/ethnicity or dress like “thugs”, they have to recognize that their reactions make them racially/ethnically prejudiced."
