Methodology

Racism In Vancouver

-I distributed printed out survey copies, to students of all ages, races, and genders

-I asked 10 individuals, between the ages of 17-24

- questions that were; open ended, closed ended, ranked, and scaled questions

- 20 questions about racism were asked

- 5 out of the ten were female, and the rest of the 5 were male, for equal data collection

-the survey was more positive then the literature review

April 2 2014

Vol XCIII, No. 311

Focus Group:

Does Racism effect your opportunity for a job?

Racism in Paradise :

Your race should not effect your opportunity for employment but in some cases it does. People who are of different races are often looked down upon and seen to be "uneducated"

-consisted of 4 people of different races, genders, and ages

-the focus group was challenging to construct and gather individuals

- it helped narrow down questions and get more information and opinions in comparison to the survey, the focus group was a lot more informative, with a better response

Vancouver is suppose seen as a multicultural place to live in yet why does racism still exist?

Does Gender Matter?

male vs female & transgender

No: Gender should not matter, people should all be treated the same. and your gender should not define who you are. Just because you are genetically born as a male or a female, does not mean you need to fulfill the social requirements that come with that title.

-people are uneducated

-the year they are born, or the place they are born effects their views on other races

- raised in a racist household

-media influences their views and opinions of other races

Yes: On a social level, gender does matter and gender is important.

Males have higher status then females.

But, white females have higher status over another race, say for example a white female would have a higher status over a black male.

A white male, would have a higher status over a black female, when walking the street at night.

Males are seen as more educated then females as well as stronger.

Limitations:

- In the survey, it was difficult to get a good response and explanation

- most people were in a rush, answered only, "yes" or "no"

- some people were not telling the truth, to appear less racist

- because people we not completely honest, it was difficult to collect precise and accurate data information

No one is born hating another person for the color of their skin, or his background of his religion, people must learn to hate and if they can be taught to hate they can be taught to love, for love comes more natural to the human heart, then it's opposite.- Nelson Mandela

Are colored people stereotypically accused of committing a crime?

Are white people more privileged over other races ?

Literature review:

-socially yes.

* for example arab people are generally stereotyped to be "terrorists"

- most people don't trust other races

-Most of the articles I reviewed seemed to be based off of surveys that were taken by older audience

-I noticed their views on this topic were a lot more racist and close minded

- however, babies themselves are not racist, you are not born racist, you are socially taught to learn to become racist

Socially speaking

- seen as more educated

- richer

- socially higher status

- better opportunity for jobs

- less discrimination

but there are some cases, where this is untrue

Do most people prefer to surround themselves with people of the same race or different races?

Does Vancouver have better opportunities?

Do people trust individuals who are a different race then themselves?

Conclusion & Findings

- Racism is unavoidable

- Earlier generations were born in a predominately white environment, and raised racist, they only know being racist, and therefore they pass on their racist ways on their children, and their children pass it on to their children, it is a vicious cycle

- Racism is not something you are born with, it is something that is socially constructed, and taught to an individual

- Vancouver is a lot more accepting of different races, they offer numerous opportunities for immigrants

- The life style of Vancouver is more culturally friendly

- As long as people are educated into being racist, racism will still exist

- But as far as racism goes, Vancouver is not the worst place to live in, your life is not extremely in danger or at risk in this city

- Survey's weren't 100% accurate

- Surveys proved different over the Literature review

- Literature review, had a more racist approach, for the audience was a older crowd, where as the Surveyors were younger generation and more open to other genders and races

Has Racism gotten better?

- better in some aspects

- worst in others

- racism appears better because society allows it to become more socially acceptable

In the Literature review, the article claimed that people did not like to surround themselves with people of other races, where as my survey response spoke otherwise, with people who didn't mind surrounding themselves with someone of a different race.

-Literature Review: states no they do not trust other races

- Survey: proved that the individuals did trust people of other races

-Vancouver has better opportunities for immigrants

- Vancouver is more socially accepted of other races

- Has diverse communities that support the different races

- Promotes multiculturalism, and ethnic celebrations

- Better rate for employment

- Less racist then other places, for example:

In America, you can be killed for your race, some states are extremely racist, perform racist meetings and ceremonies, have legal laws against interracial marriages , is more predominately white based
