Mexicans for example, are discriminated often because of their color, and because American’s assume that they are taking jobs away from them. American’s have caused a big problem to Mexicans by increasing the prices on their …show more content…
Color people have long been unable to work, or even be seen in a white area because American’s simply cannot stand seeing them near them. In the article “Teaching Our Own Racism Incorporating Personal Narratives of Whiteness Into Anti-Racist Practice” the author Stephen Brookfield proclaims how “we have encountered discrimination in society in many different cultures, but evidently whites haven’t been targeted at all” (Brookfield 2). Color people in partially have been ostracized by the whites, and aren’t able to get the same rights as white people. Additionally, we see that there is also a view in which people are learning to be anti-racist against people from a different culture. Although there is still racism in this world there is still time to change the way people view other people. One’s race has a different meaning to every individual.

In the article “Balm in Gilead: Racism, Religious Involvement, and Psychological Distress Among African-American Adults” the authors: Christopher G. Ellison, Marc A. Musick, and Andrea K. Henderson they exclaim “that there can be effects in religion because others get more support and the rest get less, so the people who are getting less support are being discriminated by others” (Ellison, Musick, and Henderson 3). For example, in the article it also shows how white people get more benefits then a colored religion would get. Others have more money and are able to get funding’s to teach a charity and have a leadership while others aren’t able to get the funding’s to teach. Racial discrimination can have a big impact on religion
