racialized

Examples of racialized in the following topics:

• Imperialism and Racial Divisions

• Racial Divides in South Africa

• 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?
  • Board of Education forbade racially segregated education.
  • 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.

• Racism

  • Children develop an awareness of race and racial stereotypes quite young and these racial stereotypes affect behavior.
  • One response to racial disparity in the U.S. has been Affirmative Action.
  • Another type of racism is racial profiling.
  • Two examples of racial profiling in the United States are often discussed.
  • Expanding on this theme, sociologists have begun to explore "cinethetic racism," which is defined as the portrayal of racial minorities in ways that appeal to white expectations of "good" racial minorities while reproducing the subordination of racial minorities to white needs, desire, and leadership.

• Racism

  • Racism is the belief that different traits of racial groups are inherent and justify discrimination.
  • Racism is the belief that different inherent traits in racial groups justify discrimination.
  • It is applied especially to the practice or advocacy of racial discrimination of a pernicious nature, which is often justified by recourse to racial stereotyping or pseudo-science.
  • Children develop an awareness of race and racial stereotypes quite young (between the ages of 5 and 11), and these racial stereotypes affect behavior.
  • One response to racial disparity in the U.S. has been affirmative action.

• Clarifying Ambiguous Words

  • Sometimes it is called "racial imbalance".
  • It is racially discriminatory treatment for the purpose of keeping the races separated.
  • But racial imbalance (segregation1) can exist even when there is no racially discriminatory treatment (segregation2) currently going on.
  • It is sometimes called racial balance.
  • Is it segregation in its statistical sense, racial imbalance, segregation1, that is morally evil?

• Legal Definition of Race

  • The racial categories represent a social-political construct for the race or races that respondents consider themselves to be.
  • Thus, in addition to assigning a wanted individual to a racial category, such a description will include: height, weight, eye color, scars, and other distinguishing characteristics.
  • In the United States, the practice of racial profiling has been ruled to be both unconstitutional and a violation of civil rights.
  • Many consider de facto racial profiling an example of institutional racism in law enforcement.
  • The history of misuse of racial categories to impact adversely one or more groups and to offer protection and advantage to another has a clear impact on the larger debate.

• Ethnic Groups

  • This is due to the historical and ongoing significance of racial distinctions that categorize together what might otherwise have been viewed as ethnic groups.
  • While a sense of ethnic identity may coexist with racial identity (Chinese Americans among Asian or Irish American among European or White, for example), the long history of the United States as a settler, conqueror, and slave society, and the formal and informal inscription of racialized groupings into law and social stratification schemes has bestowed upon race a fundamental social identification role in the United States.
  • The many previously designated "Oriental" ethnic groups are now classified as the "Asian" racial group for the census.
  • All the aforementioned are categorized as part of the "White" racial group, as per U.S.
  • Explain why ethnic and racial categories tend to overlap in the U.S.

• Continuing Challenges in Race Relations in the U.S.

  • The Civil Rights Movement influenced racial integration, but tensions with affirmative action and racism still affect racial relations.
  • Though much progress has been made in establishing racial equality since the time of the Civil Rights Movement, there still exist numerous challenges in this area.
  • Two issues relating to race that remain controversial are the debates surrounding affirmative action and racial profiling.
  • Racial profiling is challenged at a federal level by both the 4th Amendment of the U.S.
  • Nonetheless, racial profiling is sometimes practiced in African-American, Hispanic, and Muslim communities within the U.S.
