'The Privilege of Being White: An Auto-ethnography\r'

'One of the or so distinct and powerful aspects of the Ameri hobo friendship is diversity.  It is represent by different population of various races, ethnicity, origin, color, beliefs and take down languages.  America leads in this global phenomenon as it features itself as the home of the free, the land of cosmopolitanism and universality.Immigrants in the US such as Latin, African and Asian Americans moderate pose an integral agency of American society. And as secernate of the American culture, unique individual identities of immigrants are encourage to be asserted and accepted for assimilation and go on growth of the American culture.Behind that so called American vision that many immigrants yearn for is the issue of racism that continues to disperse American society. Racial discrimination has metamorphosed in refreshing forms and channels in the modern age.  It has been institutionalized and knavishly integrated within the fabric of society as both instit utional and cultural phenomenon. (Kivisto and Rundblad)The established forms of racial inequalities before remains very much animate but manifests itself in institutional mechanisms today which provided a new dimension of racial segregation in the form of privileges and racial stigma.An ordinary everydayUpon acquire this assignment, I quickly started a conscious reflection of my fixing activities and made a critical analysis of my neighborly environment in order to recognize the so called privilege that sportsmanlike plenty enjoys in society.   The premier thing that come up in my consciousness on my way home is that in a society dominated by whites, the white people is a norm.Thus, non-whites are regarded as different or non customary.  In the most peculiar yet ordinary way, I can easily socialize with or get into a company of white people most of the time.  On the separate hand, I would have some hesitations in approaching or getting along with non whites.   At this point, I realize that thither designms an unconscious prejudice within me that I can relate better with white people because I am one of them and subconscious assumption that they see me as a reflection of themselves as sanitary because I am white.On the other hand, my hesitations to approach non white people may have also cauline from some kind of bias that non whites are offensive or unwelcoming.  In worst scenarios especially towards non-whites in the streets, there seemed an automatic supposition on my part that they are camp members and are potentially dangerous.I mean that these subconscious feelings are reinforced and sustained by the popular media particularly how non whites have been negatively modify by stereotypical portrayals and the how whites are given privilege. (Branscombe and Doosje)The exertion picture is one of the many media through which organized racial, cultural, and historical discrimination and stratification in society is depicted as a reality in society.  The movie, â€Å"Boyz in the Hood” for instance, tells of the struggles and perils of a young obscure man living in the ghetto were joining a halo is a survival kit and that hysteria in the neighborhood is a way of life.The polemic film â€Å"Do The Right Thing” in 1989, on the other hand accounts a serial publication of events that described the racial tension in a predominantly black neighborhood that resulted to violent passage of arms in the end.  The movie, â€Å"higher learning” on the other hand, tells of the discrimination that extends in academic institutions that led to the complete of students as well.  The constant portrayal of non whites as gang members made me think that most blacks and Latinos are gang members and are therefore potentially treacherous and threatening.\r\n'
