Race In My Community FinalEssay Preview: Race In My Community FinalReport this essaySince the city started, Dallas has always consisted of a wide diverse population of numerous racial and ethnic groups contributing to the success of our community. Regrettably, until recently we did not publicly recognize the presence and involvement of all of these groups equally. The number of groups represented, and the size of those groups, have grown tremendously in the last decade, as has their public presence. With the increased rate, I feel that by the year 2050, Dallas will have come a long way in the help with fighting cultural differences. However; it is a known fact that diversity will never die away completely.
I have read numerous reports on race and diversity in Dallas. I have also read this article, “Racial Diversity: Is It Ever Sustainable?” on which I see various issues ranging from a lack of diversity to declining employment. What I do not agree with is that we should be more accepting of certain groups of people who, although not explicitly recognized, may be seen as white and of equal standing in Dallas. At present, Dallas does not have an equal opportunity for all people of color. In other words, every race in a city must feel as unique. At a minimum, if we look at our public service programs which include a wide variety of racial and ethnic background, and are not just focused on those groups, the results will be, well, similar. We should make our public sector work more diverse, our public health efforts more visible, our financial support more generous, our schools more inclusive, all because of the positive consequences of diversity.

When you put all this together, I would call it the “American System of Diversity” or “American Ethnic System of Diversity.” It isn’t exactly a “white-owned” corporation that is required to make these admissions. It’s a private business, which I own, and has always said was not intended for the purpose of providing such benefits to people of color. Yet, there aren’t quite enough of the things that make us a “white-owned” company. The White Privilege, and especially “American Ethnic,” have the means to ensure that those who need to be represented within our system are just. As for the white majority, that is a personal issue to us.
You know, my friend, you may want to read this piece on your own. There’s a big difference: I’m not about to share the details of my research with you in the way that some of you would rather. But I am a good communicator, and I have a responsibility to make sure I present the facts in a manner that is consistent with my values, regardless of the color of my skin. And so it goes that I have done as much research on white minority issues, I may as well write about the issues of black minority minorities, and the results have led me to think differently on our national issues.
[…]
In the beginning, though, what I didn’t realize is that these minority issues were mostly coming about because of social justice, discrimination, and segregation, at least in my personal sphere. When I took up my writing career for good reasons, I wanted to make sure I was prepared and well equipped for my work. I think the way I went about this is to say that there has been some sort of social injustice, but I could not find that description in any of the studies that were done on the white minority. But then I began to make a name for myself because, like all of you, I want to make sure I meet all the requirements in my professional service, as well as to speak publicly and be heard. My public service experience has been quite good. And that is why I know the real problems are, you know, when I am in the public eye trying to work for minority issues, the very first white community that I meet after I tell you this truth: when I say I am not going to tell you the truth, there are always many people who say that. And some are just not going to listen and not understand why it is that their own privilege persists. They just never want me to know how to get to the bottom of it. This is a huge problem, and I have been doing everything I can to address the problem with the white minority, to make sure they are taken seriously in life as a community. And that is what I started doing, right here in my home office.
I know I’m not alone. A number of other community groups have tried to do the same, but they have been reluctant to do so because they have trouble understanding the problems that White people will face if they get in their way. And I believe that there are, in my opinion, a huge number of people who want us to take action, and it has worked quite well. Now, just to begin, I am concerned that the police officers who are making our lives easier for police officers and not for ordinary citizens cannot be taken seriously with their words. I do not have a job where I have to carry my weight. I feel like I have to do something about it. I want to make sure that I don’t get in my way.
So I am committed to helping get the public to hear what all of us are saying, and that you stand with me here. And because
I do not support or encourage the use of racial or ethnic language or act on those in authority in the community. If we are prepared and in place to listen and act on those words or actions, and if we are prepared to live with or be seen as an ally or ally, there is no reason whatsoever to be in favor of racial discrimination. For example, do you expect me to sit and listen to comments or do your own reflection in regards to issues such as the number of minorities, and whether or not there are white people, Hispanic, African Americans, etc.? This is very divisive. To me, they all sound similar and need addressing. It is extremely important for the public service system to recognize people of all races. We are not going to put up with an entire town without diversity. They do not have that. There is an entire community of blacks, Hispanics, non-Hispanic whites, Asian, African Americans, etc.[1] I do not support racism in Dallas, but I do support the very idea of equal representation. Because you are not going to meet any of these people together, when there is a civil war breaks out in order to deal with the problems and then the civil war breaks out, they should be able to walk around the community, and to talk peacefully and with people when they are in the same neighborhood in which they live.[2] The number two issue is the amount of money that we spend on our public relations and marketing departments and all of our internal operations. We must find a way to bring these communities together and raise money to fund our public agencies.
Dallas has an unfortunate history of underfunding our public service. This has had consequences for the city of Dallas. We spend our resources to improve the public image of our city, to better our youth, and most importantly we spend that money to bring them together. In Texas, a successful

The people in my community come from a wide range of ethnic groups. I am a white Caucasian female, age 24. In Dallas, you can find someone from virtually all ethnic groups. I dont particularly fell that anyone looks the same. There are many white females in my community, but there are also African Americans, Asian, Japanese and even German women that live near me. Some of us might share the same facial features, but in general; I feel we all have our own looks that makes us unique to one another. I would say that in Dallas, the government officials treat most people equally. It is unfortunate, yet there is still racism and bias treatment in Dallas, as with any other part of the country. The racism can be influenced from numerous things including but not limited to ethnicity, religious background, educational background and even by the way a person dresses. I also strongly feel that people in my community also treat each other equally as well. There are some minuet groups that tend to show lack of respect towards others. I feel that the ethnic group that receives the most prejudice in Dallas are Arabs. With the terrorist attacks on 9-11, and other terrorist activities, the Arabs have stood out more, making them more known for violent acts. I believe that they are sometimes grouped by the way they dress and this has caused bias opinions against them.
The company that I work for is based out of Pleasanton, CA, and the regional office based in Dallas. The company is classified as equal opportunity employer (EOE), and is not biased at all. We treat all of our staff equally. Most of the work that I do is talking to the associates over the phone; I hardly ever actually meet anyone I talk to. Without physically seeing the person, it diminishes the chances for prejudice feelings. Granted, I have access to their employment information so I could see their ethnic background except it is never necessary to view. Being located in such a large metro-plex as Dallas/Fort Worth, there are many news stations and different types of media, like newspapers and radio stations. I also believe that for the most part these organizations treat people of different races and ethnic groups equally. Most of them are more concerned with the actual story, and the publicity that they will gain from airing it. I dont feel that they are bias as to who they talk about. Dallas also host an annual “Dallas is Diversity” contest where school students make pictures showing people from all ethnic groups joined in sports and other activities. The top 12 winners are then chosen, and their picture are put together to make a yearly calendar. “Dallas Is Diversity is committed to the promotion of ethnic and cultural diversity in the Greater Dallas community through educational and recreational activities, which focus on the youth and future of Dallas” (Dallas is Diversity). Another advantage to living in such a large community is there are many museums that help promote diversity awareness. One well known organization in Dallas is City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA), where the “commitment to the arts is evidenced by the many opportunities for citizens, visitors, artists and organizations to share in our citys cultural expression through the arts” .
When researching the economical cultural diversity in Dallas, I realized that there were several factors to take into consideration. The most important concepts of the economical status is income rates and employment rates for each ethnic group. The following information was found in the study Report on Achieving Racial and Ethnic Equality, 2003 conducted by the ÐDallas Together Forum with support from the ÐUnited Way of Metropolitan Dallas. On average in 1990, the median household income for all persons 25 yrs of age or older was reported at $27,862. In 2000, the median household income for all persons 25 yrs of age or older was reported at $41,770 with an overall increase of 50.2%. In 1990, the median income for Whites (Non-Hispanics) was reported at $36,515, and in 2000 it was reported as $53,455 having an increase of 46.4%. The median income for African Americans in 1990, was reported at $20,833 and in 2000, it was reported at $31,951 having an increase of 53.4%. The median income for Hispanics in 1990, was reported at 24,357 and in 2000, it was reported at 34,111 having an overall increase of 40%. The median income for Asians in 1990 was reported at $31,992 and in 2000, it was reported at $49,382 having an increase of 54.4%. The median income for Native Americans in 1990, was reported at $25,617 and in 2000, it was reported at $39,949 having an increase of 55.9%. The Asians had the highest increase reported, while Hispanics had the smallest gain reported. The overall gap between the highest reporting group and the lowest, had no change
