ideology that humans are divided into superior and inferior races that
are inherently different in their biological makeup Biological determinism (related to Scientific Racism):
Notion that shared behavioral norms, social & economic differences
between human groups (races, classes, ethnic group, genders) are based on
inherited, inborn distinctions… If this were true, we could say that society
is an accurate reflection of biology, and that “discrimination” is not
important in leading to social inequalities. Systematic Racism (B.Tatum):
A system of social advantage based on idea of racial difference.
In U.S., the white population has been systematically advantaged based on
institutional practices (laws, policies, etc) and cultural messages (for
example, the Anglo-Saxon “norm” and stereotypes of other groups as deficient
or defective). TYPES OF DISCRIMINATION: --Genocide, Segregation, Exclusion, Selective inclusion, Abusive practices SPECIFIC FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION (denying access to resources): Economic discrimination; Occupational discrimination; Employment
discrimination; Housing discrimination; Educational discrimination; Political
discrimination American Ethnicity “GENERAL MODEL OF ETHNIC RELATIONS” What contributes to a “sense of threat”? Why is this particular issue so important in the theory? (Aguirre & Turner’s model, CHAP 2, American Ethnicity) |
