Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Cultural Studies – Miscellaneous, Texas Southern University, language: English, abstract: The readings from the previous sessions have majorly focused on the issue of racism and discrimination of minority groups in the United States. In fact, the race has been used by the white community as a tool to stereotype minority groups such as the Chicanos and Latinos. The readings illustrate how American people tend to treat immigrants with disrespect and make it challenging for them to be incorporated into the American community. As a result, the immigrants have a hard time feeling so isolated, ignored and fear to participate in issues that are mandatory such as education. The articles explored in this paper presents historical accounts of the Mexican and Latino immigrants, the problems they encounter when interacting with Americans, and the influence that immigrants bring into the American society.
