First off this is not to bash any race/sex/orientation /social class what so ever. Please post in an educational manner. No flaming and all that Jazz. I want to see some respectful conversations on said subject. I will start off the discussion by asking some hopefully thought provoking questions listing my own response.
Do you think race still matters in today’s world? – Yes, I very much think that a person’s race still impacts many aspects of their life. For instance while being pulled over by a police officer. People of non white skin tend to be jailed more often for drug related crimes. In many of these communities White people and the statics on drug related activity is actually much higher among those of Caucasian yet they are jailed the least even when they massively outnumber other races. Look up some number on prisons and jails.
Another reason I think race still matters is a simple question. If you are working at small store and you can see it all with cameras and mirrors and there is a small group of Caucasian’s and another one is Latino’s who are you most likely going to watch more closely? Don’t actually answer that just look at which first popped in your mind.
Do you think Sex as in Male/Female still matter? - Yes, again. The job market pay is actually one way to see that. The gap has been slowly changing, but it is still there. Pay close attention to different types of media. Whether that be books (including kids books) cartoons/sitcoms local paper and so on. It is plain as day. There are of course many instances of this working vice versa.
An example would be. Who would pick to be your babysitter a male or a female? Who would you pick to work on and supervise the building of a house? IF both male and female have equal qualifcations.
This is just to start things off feel free to add your own questions in which for others to respond too. Again, Please keep things respectful. I want conversation’s to take place and for us all to see different points of view. I want this to be a bit eye opening and insightful for anyone who wishes to partake in this.
