Society today still have racist ethnic groups that have an unaccepting attitude towards interracial marriages!“Actually I am a Christian and indeed a Roman Catholic so I do not expect history to be anything but a long defeat but though it contain and in a legend it may contain more clearly and movingly some samples or glimpse of final victory” - J.R.R. Tolkien If we have not learned anything from history, then why are we still in existence? History have shown and proven nothing last forever, somewhere along the line it must change. The question I ask myself constantly is, why do we treat one another unfairly? Are we that ignorant to the fact that we feel are world are cheapening when someone makes our lives unfair, but we do it to the next person and use the excuse "LIFE IS UNFAIR". A story from the bible gives an example on how we are selfish and greedy; so the story goes something like this, a man begged a king to forgive his debts, he beg the king not to in prison him till the king forgave him of his debts. Along the way of his return home he saw a man that owed him, the man was a servient, the servient beg him to give him more time to pay off the debt but the man said no and demanded that he was thrown in jail till the servient paid his debt, the king heard about this and ask why he did not forgive the man as I the king forgave you, so the king in prisoned the man till he paid his debt back. In American history we learned about slavery and the way they endured pain and suffering mainly African Americans then to the time when slavery was abolished and freedom took its place. During the fifties and sixties, interracial dating was not socially acceptable, there were repercussions for those who were involved in such behaviors because various laws, such as the Jim Crow laws, that kept the different races/ethnicities separate, it was seen as extremely socially deviant to go against these rules. Back during segregation and limited rights White man felt that the Black men were not equal; till now in the present where not only Black men but also minorities of all races are all equal to the same opportunities. I do understand that people need time to change, but how much time? I look at it like this about five or six generation need to die out from 2015 so racism, hate crimes, gay marriage, and interracial marriage, abuse of animals, the environment neglect and equality of all to be accepted or not a negative concern and is taken into care. The unacceptance of attitudes towards interracial marriages from racist ethnic groups are still in society today! Why do we put …show more content…
The show has two charters that are dating, they are both from different races; Leonard Hofstadter is a white American man who 's has PH.D. and is an Experimental Physicist at the California Institute of Technology and Priya Koothrappali is an Indian women, she graduated the top of her class from Cambridge University also an attorney for the biggest car company in India. Her parents does not know they are dating, in one of the episodes she was video chatting with her parents and they brought up dating and end up telling her she should find a Indian man and not Leonard the white nerd. That is one example of why some people do not date outside of their race because of the respect they have for their parents. That leads to the question do we choose the people we want to fall-in love with or does love choose us. Now one of the main arguments that are used to show why interracial dating is not of the norm is education levels. I get it you do not want to date someone that you have to keep thinking for, or your parents or peers won 't accept. When we say education what do we mean? Is it how long you have gone to school and the degrees you have obtained or the traditions and the culture you were thought from birth. I say it’s both because in different cultures there are certain vales that are passed down. Most of the other countries hate or find American culture to be unstable with no real

    1. Individual Component: Profile Patricia June O’Shane was born in 1941 into an interracial family (a rarity for that period), at a time when it was common practice for the removal of children from their families where it was deemed children were being neglected (McIntyre & McKeich, 2009). The removals often triggered children to feel disconnected with their culture/traditional ways and their family’s history (Cowlishaw, 2004). Both of Patricia’s grandparents had been removed from their families, which she believes is why her grandfather encouraged his grandchildren to question what they believed to be wrong in the world (O 'Shane, Miller, Miller, & O 'Shane, 2010).…

    He began preparing for the date by removing various symbols of his culture from his house, believing that girls will only like him if he hides his origin and pretends to be someone else. The narrator feels stereotyped for his cultural upbringing and in order to counteract the consequences of these judgments, he demonstrates racism and sexism towards his dates.

He is also attempting to hide his family’s own culture and take on another identity that he perceives as superior to his own.…

    One of the most influential quotes about history that was ever said was by Edmund Burke who stated “those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” This is such a powerful quote because it explains the significance of knowing the past and how valuable it can be. Those who are unaware of the past will repeat it because they are unaware of what has occurred before and what lessons can be learned from those events. One of my favorite musical artists, J. Cole, once stated in his song “Fire Squad,” “History repeats itself and that 's just how it goes.” With all of these iconic individuals sharing the value of History, it becomes very evident to me how crucial it…

    The Role of Race In Romantic Attraction to Race in Intercultural Dating Attraction is a popular field of study in psychology. In a mixed society that we exemplify today in America, it is common to see people of multiple races and ethnicities but what influences race and ethnicity have on everyday life such as it pertains to attraction is something that we are still discovering. Looking back in history, interracial communication and living is a new progression. Although the general population may not always consider how races and ethnicities play a role in our procreation and attraction to sexual partners, empirical evidence supports that race effects attraction (McClintock,& Murry, (2010). Observing how race effects attraction, and what effects…

    Racism is not a thing of the past; it is our unfortunate present and inevitable future. Oppression and bigotry are just as common in modern day society as they were in past generations and the effects they have on individuals are just as damaging as ever. Racism didn’t die out with the abolishment of slavery, nor did it magically disappear with the establishment of the African-American Civil Rights movement. So why, ladies and gentlemen, does the human condition remain the same as it was 60 years ago, when we know of the negative effects it has on minority groups?…
