![]() ![]() The National Anthem wasn’t written for the black people of America. How do you feel about the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick and the NFL? How do you feel about football players taking a knee during the national anthem? Do you understand what they are protesting? Do you think we have a right to tell someone how they should protest? Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem kneel (Image from Youtube) These shootings truly make me wonder how the mothers of black sons survive letting their children go out into the world. I think they may actually be afraid of these men because that type of disregard for human lives may be out of both hate and fear. It makes me wonder if there is any truth behind their remarks that they shot these men because they were afraid of being hurt. Yes, I think that it is a disgrace that the majority of the officers who have committed these crimes are still part of the police force. (If your interviewee doesn’t know about these shootings, please explain the details of the cases) Black men are more likely to be incarcerated than white men, our branches of government don’t reflect America’s diversity, new black mothers have mortality rates as high as women in third world countries and there is still violence towards people of color.Īre you aware of the most recent shootings involving Black men? If so, what do you think about them? (i.e. I think that most Americans try to take a color blind stance towards race relations but that is harmful because many of the policies in the US are not color-blind and directly pertain to race. No, I do not think America is a color-blind society. I would want my family members to be happy.ĭo you think America is a color-blind society? Why or why not? I would feel fine because most of the people I have been in relationships with have been outside both my racial and ethnic group. How would you feel if someone in your family married outside of their racial/ethnic group? It doesn’t matter where you live in America, people of color are always at risk. However, I know that my opportunities and safety would change. I grew up with non-white individuals so I don’t think that the groups I am surrounded by would change. I believe my life would both change and not change. ![]() I wouldn’t trade my skin color because I live in the United States of America. Would you trade your skin color? How do you think your life would be different if you looked like someone of a different race? ![]() Other than being called spoiled, I don’t experience hatred because of my race. I am always granted interviews, I never fear the police, I have always felt that my teachers have treated me equally and I know that my actions don’t automatically impact how others see my racial group. I don’t believe that I can feel discrimination because I have so many advantages as a white woman. My father teaches a course on Mafia Studies and what amazes me is that his students at first are always skeptical that he might have ties with criminals.ĭo you have any experiences where you felt discriminated against because of your race or ethnicity? Popular media in the US has portrayed Italian Americans as tacky, money seeking individuals who have affiliations with the mob or are part of the mob. Specifically, that we are somehow associated with the Mafia. There are a lot of stereotypes about Italian Americans. What stereotypes are associated with your racial/ethnic group? Do you think any of the stereotypes are true? Which ones are disturbing? People in my racial group treat other racial groups poorly, because even if they are not directly racist, many of them refuse to acknowledge that they are privileged and the majority of whites have not processed the fact that there is institutional racism in America. How do people in your racial group treat individuals in other racial groups? However, I sometimes am not accepted into White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) communities because I am a first generation American. ![]() I am accepted by others in my identified racial group because I am part of the middle class and have moved on to higher education. I realized I was part of my racial group when I moved to Brooklyn, NY at the age of 6.Īre you accepted by others in your identified racial or ethnic group? If not, why? If so, what makes you accepted? What race or ethnic group do you consider yourself a part of? When and how did you realize that you were a part of this racial/ethnic group?
