Q: Keep Your "N" in Check: African American Women and the Interactive Effects of Etiquette and Emotional Labor", Marlese Durr and Adia M. Harvey Wingfield Durr and Harvey Wingfield first begin with an examination of negative perceptions of Michelle Obama, and how the stereotype of the "angry Black woman" reinforces a lack of femininity and self worth. This is then extrapolated to experiences of Black women in the modern office workplace, and the role they have been forced into as a side effect of affirmative action policies. The authors discuss the need for a specific form of presentation, titled emotional labor, as a way in which they must present specifically in a largely passive manner. The focus then is to appear as quiet and non-intrusive as possible, leaving them without any identity of their own and undermining the superficial push for diversity that many organizations are highly focused upon.

Q: "Sex and Gender Through the Prism of Difference," Maxine Baca Zinn, Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, and Michael MessnerMaxine Baca Zinn, Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, and Michael Messner present a new framework of the study of gender. The "prism of difference" they describe broadens the traditional view of gender by recognizing the influences of social locations other than gender, and hierarchical systems other than patriarchy. This new perspective encompasses the experiences of all women, not just those defined as middle class white women, new views on men and masculinity, and the consideration of gender within a global perspective. The authors argue that by looking at gender through a "prism," instead of a patchwork of other factors, such as class, race, national identity, age, etc., the differences and inequalities recognized among both women and men will serve to expand our understanding of gender.In the 1970s, riding the wave of a resurgent feminist movement, colleges and universities began to develop women's studies courses that aimed first and foremost to make women's lives:a. tolerable.b. visible.c. acceptable.d. interesting.

Q: "Optional Ethnicities: For Whites Only?" Mary C. WatersMary Waters explores the difference in ethnic identities experienced by White and non-White ethnic and racial groups. Waters asserts that White ethnics are able to decide if, and what part of, their ethnic ancestry they want to claim. For White ethnics, theirs is a symbolic ethnicity, one which is individually designed and only serves to benefit White ethnics. Non-White groups do not have the same choice regarding their ethnic identities because the physical distinctions of these groups denies the choice. As a result, Waters argues, non-White ethnic group members are unable to avoid the negative experiences associated with being a member of an ethnic/racial minority group. Because White ethnics view their own ethnicities as voluntarily acquired and since those aspects of their ethnicity which are not beneficial to them are ignored, White ethnics do not recognize the involuntary nature of non-White ethnicities, nor do they identify with the racial oppression experienced by these groups. Waters points out that this understanding results in problematic race relations which can be seen on college campuses around the country. Waters argues that a cultural pluralistic society can only be achieved once the dynamics and consequences of ethnic identity are recognized by individuals and within social institutions.Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and American Indians do not have the option of a _________________at present in the United States.a. symbolic ethnicityb. symbolic necessityc. symbolic interactiond. symbolic reality

Non-White groups do not have the same choice regarding their ethnic identities because the physical distinctions of these groups denies the choice. As a result, Waters argues, non-White ethnic group members are unable to avoid the negative experiences associated with being a member of an ethnic/racial minority group. Because White ethnics view their own ethnicities as voluntarily acquired and since those aspects of their ethnicity which are not beneficial to them are ignored, White ethnics do not recognize the involuntary nature of non-White ethnicities, nor do they identify with the racial oppression experienced by these groups. Waters points out that this understanding results in problematic race relations which can be seen on college campuses around the country. Waters argues that a cultural pluralistic society can only be achieved once the dynamics and consequences of ethnic identity are recognized by individuals and within social institutions.According to Mary Waters in "Optional Ethnicities: For Whites Only?" White ethnics fail to recognize:a. the difference between individualistic symbolic ethnic identity and a socially enforced and imposed racial identity.b. the similarity between individualistic symbolic ethnic identity and a socially enforced and imposed racial identity.c. that some ethnicities are more important than others.d. that all ethnicities are merely symbolic in today's worlds.

Q: "Must-See TV: South Asian Characterizations in American Popular Media," Bhoomi K. Thakore Thankore examines the changing role South Asian and Indians have had in American popular culture, and the rather rapid increase in TV characters of this background. The surprise popularity of Slumdog Millionaire is cited as a possible reason for this, as well as the ability for Indian characters to act as a token minority in place of Arab and Muslim characters in a post-9/11 society. Along with this though has been a racialization of South Asians and the associated stereotyping in society. Thakore examines the evolution of Indian characters, from dangerous savages in India to cab drivers and convenience store owners in urban areas, and increasingly as high achieving students. The stereotype of the low-earning service employee is one not consistent with the academic and economic achievements of Indians and South Asians, while the more modern presence as scientists and doctors is more realistic.

Q: "Is This A White Country, or What?" Lillian RubinLillian Rubin demonstrates the links between economic competition, racial prejudice, and the anti-immigration sentiments expressed by working class whites. Rubin points out that while there is a long history of racial hostility toward immigrant groups in America, the limited employment opportunities and the darker skin tones of recent immigrants have intensified these hostilities. Racism and nativism, according to Rubin, is apparent in Whites' views of recent immigrants and people of color. The visibility of and the demands for recognition expressed by these groups are seen as threats to whites' economic livelihood and their understanding of America. Rubin's interviews with working class Whites illustrate this point, as well as two contradictions evident in Whites' attitudes toward immigrants and people of color: Whites resent the unity of these groups, yet they exclude them from dominant society. Whites criticize members of these groups for their perceived failures as well as their successes. Rubin asserts that Whites have begun to reclaim their ethnic heritage as a way to secure what they see as their hard earned position of privilege in American society.What reason does Lillian Rubin give for Whites wanting to "reclaim their ethnic roots?"a.

Q: "Closing the Wealth Gap: A Review of Racial and Ethnic Inequalities in Homeownership," Meghan Kuebler The American Dream of wealth has been historically closely linked to the ability to own a home. Kuebler discusses how owning a home (and yard or associated property) has long been the symbol of achieving the American Dream in society and as a symbol of success. The benefits, including investment in tangible wealth, text breaks, and a chance for assimilation for minorities have been touted for a number of years. The reality is, however, that minorities have had fewer opportunities to become homeowners. The effect of "White flight" on what property is owned by Blacks has a detrimental effect on homeownership, receiving less of the benefits that Whites receive. Hispanic homeownership differs from group to group, but is still subject to discrimination as far as ability to receive mortgages, and thus their level of home ownership is low.

Q: "The Great Divergence: Growing Income Inequality Could Destabilize the U.S. So Why Isn"t Anyone Talking about It?" Timothy Noah Examining the historical status of income inequality in the United States, Timothy Noah paints a picture that shows just how much worse economic disparity has become. In 1915, Willford I. King was troubled by the fact that the top 1% of earners possessed 15-18% of American wealth. Today, that figure is closer to 24%. Income equality was more consistent following the Second World War and into the 1950s and 1960s, but the following decades saw the separation begin to grow dramatically. Noah argues that income inequality is ignored by most of the population due to a long-standing belief in social mobility, and that hard work and intelligence can allow anyone to move to a higher income bracket. He also illustrates the point how with the "Great Divergence", American economic inequality is more significant than in Latin American nations where it is always assumed to be a long-standing problem. Economic historians Goldin and Margo named the income distribution stability of the 1950s and 1960s the a. Great Compression b. Great Divergence c. Great Recession d. Great Sustaining
