Racism in another name

Academicians from different ethnic background at the University of Maine call for the elimination of institutional racism to promote minority groups in the world's leading economy.

The dons with extensive experience in cultural diversity issues agree that racism, today, is embedded in social, justice and economic systems.

Whereas the world around believes racism is no longer a reality in the United States-academicians points out inequality in unemployment rates between the White Americans and non-White Americans as

Blacks, Indians, Latinos and Spanish an outcome of systematic racism.

However, they acknowledge the decline in levels of physical racism following civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King in 1960s.

Americans believe there is more sense of resentment today towards minority communities than the past decades.

As such it is hard to address structural racism, which most people do not acknowledge as the problem today.

To address the new form of racism propose several interventions ranging from education, cross-cultural integration programs and the promotion of different culture.

" Through the education system, all Americans regardless their ethnic origins would understand the treaties, history and different types of stereo types," says Maureen .

It appears that the discrimination has disappeared on the public side but there is a lot of stereotyping about the Black-Americans, Indian-American and Latino originated populations in the US.

" Unemployment rate among Black-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic and Latinos is always higher than the American Whites, the access to quality housing, and education system pose a systemic threat," says Prof. Marwin Squiller, a Black-American Professor at the UMaine

To address the systematic racism, some lecturers at the University did different studies on various perspectives relating to cultural diversity in the US.

For example, Prof. Spiller Marwin did a study on ' Race, Class, and Political Behavior of African-American Young Adults.

Focusing on effects of races and class on patterns of political participation among African-Americans young adults, the findings of the study shows that the effects of social class on political participation declines.

The decline is partly attributable to full understanding of change or the lack of political participation among African-American young adults over the past 30-40 years.

"...needs to take into account changes into their objective circumstances, changes in levels of psychological engagement, and changes in how each of these factors affect political involvement," notes Marwin.

Like Marwin shares concern with Maureen Smith who is well vested in American-Indians studies on question of addressing systematic racism and stereo typing.

She wants students from different ethnic origins be taught the history of American-Indians, culturally relevant assessment of native children, the issues of sovereignty, treaty rights and cultural appropriations in relation to American-Indian nations.

Maureen's experience in teaching the above issues in American schools results coherence and tolerance among students of different ethnic backgrounds.

Despite different attempts geared at addressing systematic racism, he fears it might take some time to eliminate it.

It is not easy to acknowledge that racism exists because it is hidden and some individuals among the minority citizens have made progress.

The achievement made by some few individuals like the current President of the US Barack Obama and the would-be- first Hispanic woman Lady Justice Sonia Sotomayor appears as the blackmail to struggle for promotion of minority's identities.

Some other schools of thought advances scarcity of resources among minority communities as the systematic barrier charting common stand in addressing the situation.

" Unfortunately, minority communities are exposed to internalized racism, which creates a kind of disunity," adds Maureen.

With limited resources, it even more harder as different minority groups fight against other for resources instead of working together.

Groups with less political influence/vote benefits lesser than more influential groups.

United States is a diverse country racially and ethnically. White Americans make up 74 percent of the total population according to American Community Survey (2002). Black Americans constitutes 13.5 percent of the population. Asian Americans compose of 5 percent of the total population.

The journalists had opportunity to discuss with the University of Maine's dons of different racial background and share the experiences on cross-cultural miscues and how the Diaspora adapts to the status quo.

Learning from the experiences of Prof. ............. of Latino America originality, an Africa-American Prof. Maureen.... and Prof. Marwin of an Indian-America it came to the lights of journalists that no longer the minority communities in the US discriminated against physically.

However, the University dons express concern over slight levels of minority discrimination in the structure.

The structural discrimination according to Prof. Squiller Maureen could not be easily address as it is hd to acknowledged.

" One would address the structural racial segregation unless acknowledges its existence, something which is not easy," added Prof. Maureen

To address the situation, which is, rooted in the system, Prof. ... from Lina, Peru trains students at the University of Maine about Latin America.

Students at the university acknowledge minority groups in the country and have changed altitude towards minority communities according to the Professor.

Prof. Squiller

Individual racism no longer exists it still more institutional eg. unemployment rate of black Americans , Latinos is still alive.

So much Afro country is no longer reality

Challenges

Since it is built on sort of ideology, first have to acknowledge it exists, inability to see white Americans consists a large share of political position.
