Affirmative Action Has Always Existed For Whites In America
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The American white race has always been afforded the benefits of affirmative action, which has not set well with those of other ethnic backgrounds. Without having been formally established, this unwritten Caucasian preference has not only established a significant separation between and among the races, but it has also created deep-seated resentment from the African-American point of view. The writer discusses how Ellis Cose's book entitled 'The Rage Of A Privileged Class' directly addresses these issues in such a way as to point out the considerable discrepancies with regard to Caucasian preferential treatment.

How Much Impact has Affirmative Action Really Made?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the real effects of affirmative action and equal employment opportunity policies over the past generation. In attempting to assess the true impact of affirmative action policies over the years, there is disagreement regarding degrees of wage gains, but there is little disparity of opinion in the fact that gains have been made. It is difficult to identify which programs have had the greatest effect, but it is widely accepted even among those favoring discontinuation that antidiscrimination policies have contributed to work force participation increases as well as increases in earnings.

Richard Rodriguez on Affirmative Action
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that looks specifically at Rodriguez's autobiography, Hunger of Memory, in order to analyze his opinions on affirmative action. Rodriguez has a unique ability to see minority issues from a slightly different perspective. This perspective is enlightening even if one does not agree with his conclusions.

"Anthropology" By Andrea Lee: Conflict
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Andrea Lee's Anthropology delves deeply into the preconceived notions of the inherent separation between black and white. Even though her southern family may live a life entrenched within white mores, the protagonist does not allow them to forget from whence they came, and she does so in such a public fashion that it makes them recoil in contempt and disbelief. The extent to which race, gender and ethnicity play a critical role in Lee's (2003) story is both grand and far-reaching; that the author's central character would go so far as to call her own family 'black' and be openly chastised for it speaks to the degrading tone associated with - and the desire to retreat from - the stigma of race.
