Role of Asian Americans in Proliferating Racism Discussion I uploaded the Topic of this writing and prompt. Please following the topic and prompt. Thank you. 2020 is a four-alarm dumpster fire. The United States is ablaze, and it has plenty of fuel to keep it going.
It burns because of the mass death and suffering caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. It is repeatedly doused with
the inflammatory rhetoric of a president known for his divisiveness who is fighting to win reelection at all costs.
That fire is also bellowed by the constant reminder that institutional and structural racism continue to perpetuate
what Geographer Ruthie Gilmore (Prof. CUNY Graduate Center) calls the “state-sanctioned or extralegal
production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.” What this means is that
group differentiation by racial and ethnic otherness create differentials of the value of human beings based on
their identities. Like dollars and euros versus pesos, rupees, or dinars, in the United States, some lives are worth
more and other lives are worth little, especially in the eyes of white electoral majorities and the governments and
laws they put in place.
That value differential makes the lives of black people-including Black Latinxs-, indigenous people, and brown
people “not matter,” particularly when they are victims of racist profiling and disproportionate use of force and
homicide by police and by civilians acting as law enforcement or reporting people to the police (there is an
abundance of data validating this. See for example: https://www.vox.com/identities/2016/8/13/17938186/police-
shootings-killings-racism-racial-disparities).
In light of recent events targeting black people such as the killing of Ahmaud Arbery by a retired police officer
and his son in Georgia, the shooting death of, Breonna Taylor by Louisville Police, the racist false accusations of
Christian Cooper by a white woman in Central Park, the killing of Tony McDade by Tallahasee police, and the
live-camera fatal asphyxiation of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police, write a discussion post that notes
how these events make you feel about the present and future of racism in the United States, particularly in light
of what you’ve learned in this class about culture and power? How is culture a part of these injustices and how is
it also a necessary part of our collective effort to definitively end those unjust institutional practices and social
forces?
Primary Posts
For the primary posts, write a 325-word reflection (+/- 25 words) in response to the prompt
that will appear for each discussion post in the assignments tab (Discussion 1, discussion 2,
etc). That prompt question should be uploaded 48 hours before the discussion post is due.
In your response, draw from the readings and songs or videos assigned for the unit for that
week.
NOTE: These reflections don’t need to be as formal (or structured) as the typical term
papers that you usually write for some of your other classes at UCSD.
However, they’re not supposed to read like entries in a personal diary where you would
write down your own opinions or reactions to the content.
I’m looking for posts that find a middle ground between these two kinds of writings.
In other words, in these discussion posts, analyze what we have been considering and
discussing in that unit, and relate it to your own experiences. You may also reference a video
or an outside news story that you came across that relates to that unit’s content and reflect
on it with some analysis that connects to the course topics. (that 325-word reflection is the
part that is due on the deadline listed for that discussion post. The reply that I’m about to
describe below is to be posted within the 4 day window after the primary post is due).
