Question

I need short answers for these questions pleas

1) Discuss the five-fallacies of racism, and examples of each. Why would it be so easy for some to "fall into these beliefs" and what can be done to help discourse on why they are problematic? 2) Discuss our immigration and citizenship timeline. How was whiteness first defined, and how did it evolve over time? Who could become naturalized citizens, and how did U.S. Iaw define whiteness? 3) What do the Colorblind lecture, White Like Me, and out first unit have in common? What themes and definitions tie these together, and how does Tim Wise tie them together? 4) What is the definition of intersectionality? How can different social identities be tied together to form intersectionality? What are examples from the film Dolores, and examples used against here.

Answer 1

As per the request of the student, the answers are provided in brief.

1. A fallacy is something that's used to define the wrong definition of racism or a kind of misconception to be precise. There are in total 5 fallacies in racism, which are

a. Individualistic fallacy: It means that racism is related to one's thought process and it doesn't exist in reality. People who follow this kind of fallacy often look upon racism victims as people with reserved ideas on racism and that's their person.

b. Legalistic fallacy: This refers to how people who were once subjected to racism receive special previleges

c. Tokenistic fallacy: People who believe in tokenistic fallacy are often the ones who think that things are now better for minorities who were once subjected to racial discrimination. They think that no extra privileges shouldn't be given to the people of victims.

d. Ahistorical fallacy: This means that the history that cites the instances of racism either didn't happen or people created that history that never existed.

2. Whitness was never existed in the US history nor its constitution. According to various sociologists and anthropologists, the term causacian has been used to refer to white race that actually don't exist as per the white historians although it functions above the legal framework. Racism started when the slaves who were innocent and deprived of food were taken advantage in the name of work. They were eventually captured and sold in the US markets in the 17th and 18th centuries especially to the south states of the United States such as Carolina, Texas etc. The white colored people who came down from the European countries eventually overpowered the native Americans as well who are called American Indians. They were limited to one particular region while whites continued to build their empires in the United States with the help of the labor that they purchased from South Africa. It is unfortunate that the bills/ advertisement copies that mention "Fresh and healthy negroes available for work." These advertisement copies are still in circulation on Internet to tell how atrocious the white landlords were in the United States. And when Abraham Lincoln became the President of the United States, he wanted to stop the spread of racism and forced labor. Due to his policies, racism was limited to southern states while north continued to flourish. It is only after American Civil War that things changed and blacks were given fundamental rights such as right to liberty, right to freedom of speech, right to education etc.

3. Colorblind lecture is a society that wouldn't not recognize the people on the basis of caste, creed, race etc. Therefore it treats everyone in the same way by giving due importance to the inner personality and the merit. It is one of the best things that any society or enterprise must adhere to.

4. Intersectionality is the prophesy or advocacy that the human relations should be intersectional. One who practice intersectionality is called as an intersectionalist. People marry from different sections can be cited as classic examples of the same.

e. Fixed racism: People who believe in this fallacy believe that racism is constant and has spreading across times.
