Demystifying Bigotry Ii (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For many Americans, bigotry and white privilege are simply some things they read or hear about but never seem to experience on a personal level. Many have heard our society described as an ethnically diverse society but never really paid any attention to that diversity. Often when people hear about social injustices committed against American citizens, the sentiment "they probably deserved it" often comes to their minds without much thought. For all the people that fit into any of the aforementioned categories, this book serves as an introduction to ethnic bigotry as it exists in everyday life in America. The majority of the blog selections in this book are discussions, reactions, or analysis of occurrences in everyday America that lend themselves to an insight/interest into bigotry and the attitudes, ideas, and behavior that accompany it. Regardless of the conflicts in the selections, the conclusions are generally optimistic.
