  • Reverse Discrimination: The Case of Allan Bakke

    1600 Words  | 4 Pages

    In 1973 a thirty-three year-old Caucasian male named Allan Bakke applied to and was denied admission to the University of California Medical School at Davis. In 1974 he filed another application and was once again rejected, even though his test scores were considerably higher than various minorities that were admitted under a special program. This special program specified that 16 out of 100 possible spaces for the students in the medical program were set aside solely for minorities, while the other 84 slots were for anyone who qualified, including minorities. What happened to Bakke is known as reverse discrimination. Bakke felt his rejections to be violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment, so he took the University of California Regents to the Superior Court of California. It was ruled that "the admissions program violated his rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment"1 The clause reads as follows:"...No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor without due process of the law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."2 The court ruled that race could not be a factor in admissions. However, they did not force the admittance of Bakke because the court could not know if he would have been admitted if the special admissions program for minorities did not exist.

    The topic of race has been in our society for many many decades. Being Mexican American in the 21st century has given me the opportunity to see the many things that have occurred in the past and how in some ways are the United States are progressing. Though I am a firm believer in that history repeats itself, and many of the articles that we have read show that yes we have been in the same cycle of minorities being treated like outsiders.

  • Systemic Oppression Of African Americans

    316 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the early beginnings of colonized America, African Americans were seen as less than human. They were seen as savages. There was a fallacy associated with them that allowed others to view them as lazy, sex-crazed, and unintelligent. All of these notions were false. The British made a habit of taking land from indigenous people and subsequently controlling those who have been there. African slaves first came to America in 1501 with the New World Spanish settlers. In 1619, twenty slaves were brought to Jamestown. These were indentured servants, so they were only bound for a certain period of time. Not until 1865, when the 13th Amendment was ratified, was slavery abolished. After this, the systemic oppression of African Americans slowly and

  • Symbolic Interactionism In The Blind Side By Michael Oher

    1353 Words  | 3 Pages

    In sociology symbolic interactionism explains the individual in a society and their interactions with others and through that it can explain social order and change. This theory was compiled from the teachings of George Herbert Mead in the early 20th century. Mead believed that the development of the individual was a social process. People are subjected to change based on their interactions with other people, objects or events and they assign meaning to things in order to decide how to act. This perspective depends on the symbolic meaning that people depend on in the process of social interaction. This paper will examine the movie “The Blind Side” through the symbolic interaction perspective.

  • Discrimination Against African Americans

    315 Words  | 1 Pages

    Even in the 21st century economic and social disparities between racial ethnic groups still exist. It is indicated that Asian Americans get highest average annual earnings at about $57.500 per year when African Americans are with $30.000 per year. Due to these numbers we come up with conclusion that traditional career counselling theories are not an option for this population. Experts state that discrimination against African Americans is still common. Unconscious prejudices and stereotypes among employers are difficult to eradicate. In the United States of America there is so called “positive discrimination”, which encourages companies to hire ethnic minorities, while not imposing any compulsory quota. In fact, most Americans apply for a job
