The graduation rates of nonwhites is significantly lower than whites. Focus on this problem has mainly centered on students who live in urban centers. This higher dropout rate exists in rural areas too. However, graduation rates for rural areas are higher (87%) than in urban (83%; Grierson, 2018). In rural areas, only 77% of nonwhites graduate in four years and in some states like Alaska, graduation rates are half than of the national average.

Further, 48% of young people (ages 18 to 24) from urban areas attend college as compared to 29% from rural populations.

The United States prides itself on being a racially and ethnically diverse country- nicknamed the “Land of Immigrants”. However, since the birth of this nation, race and ethnicity has been a topic of controversy. These issues have been brought to light through protests and violence.In more recent history, race and ethnicity has created a divide in the United States. Some political theorists put blame on the last two U.S Presidential elections - going from the United State’s first black President to a white, republican President with strict views on race and ethnicity in America. These political changes have sparked major racial and ethnic problems such as the increase in racial profiling, racism, and racial and ethnic inequality. It is hypothesized

Discrimination is nothing new to our society or is it something that should be taken lightly and for many decades our Nation has endured many conflicts that have tested the will of Americans over the decades and it is evident that as we have become more diverse so too has our workforce. Although, we are in the twenty first century the goal is to understand why prejudice and discrimination is still so prevalent and how we can do better while trying to bring together our different backgrounds, skills, and experiences still has proven to be an issue that minorities are constantly fighting as they struggle to find there place in society. Through an array of well-educated researchers showing how diversity is nothing new to our society, but if we are to continue to grow and move forward we must be able to understand that with diversification we can foster a strong and inclusive economy that is built to last and nurture a nation that will continue to lead the world as standard setter.

Racial relations has taken a huge part of throughout the United States’ history from the Mayflower pilgrims and the Native Americans to now with immigration policies from prospective candidate Donald Trump for the the 2016 election. It is understandable that this statement is true due to the fact that most of this country’s citizens(illegal or not) come from an immigrant descent. Racial differences often get started due to ignorance about the opposing race.Another factor to racial difference is fear, As an immigrant myself, I have a vast amount of experience with race relations in my country of origin and in the United States. A myth about racism states that Caucasians are the only racists race.This statement itself is discriminating

Ideally the legal labor conditions that are given to documented and undocumented farmworkers are the same and are executed by all employers (Worker Abuse, 2015). Farmworkers are offered legal protection, housing, fair pay ,and safe working conditions by law with their employer, but in reality they are given very little for the contributions they make (Farmworkers and Immigration, 2015). The reality of being a farmworker comes with dangerous working conditions, very low pay/theft of pay, poor housing, and the fear of being deported or threatened by their employer. According to the website, Immigration Reform and Farmworkers (2015), approximately more than 2.5 million farmworkers are undocumented and are restricted from standing up for their

When people think of the United States of America they think of a country that consists of a majority of whites. However, the U.S. which is believed to be a majority white country is changing whether some people like it or not. These races that were seen as minorities are gaining in number. Minorities in America are slowly becoming the majority. Some whites are concerned with this realization because they cannot fathom not being the majority anymore. This change has a domino effect. There is an increase of these immigrants which causes there to be more marriages of different races. Which can cause more babies to be born with that same race or multirace. This increase also causes more of the minorities today will be voting in the future,

What do you think about racial inequality in the classroom, at work companies, and in the society? Racism plays a big role in the United States.

This first data set is from the Department of Labor Statistics. It provides data on ethnic and gender representation in the workforce by occupational category. It is in this data that the first conclusions can be drawn from analysis. The first conclusion that's because it's blatantly obvious an analysis is that white males dominate the professional Workforce comma especially in the case of professions that are above average salaries. Secondly, is that in several cases as is the case with women in Social Services, education, and health care, Hispanic workers in maintenance and grounds operations, and Asians in computer and mathematical occupations, are dominated by minority groups stereotypically associated with those professions.

As companies become more diverse in the work field employees are getting harder to manage and understand. One issue in the global market today is workplace diversity. Workplace diversity is defined as all characteristics and experiences that defined each employee as individuals, but it can also be misunderstood as discrimination against employees.

A diverse workplace targets to create an inclusive culture that values and uses the talents of all employees.

Immigrants are people who come to other countries and establish their lives there permanently. Yet, the ones who come to the Unites States are viewed differently in the 21st Century, there is more racism occurring and people view different as a bad thing. Race has become something that gives everyone meaning of who is, without seeing other features. The color of hair, eyes, and skin is something that sometimes is the only things viewed. Race is something that in the 21st century has become an issue. Meaning that because of the color of someone’s skin, is the way someone conducts around that person. Color or ethnicity should not be the reason someone is treated a certain way. The year 2016 has been a year in which much has changed, because of the new president whose token charge. President Trump has made it clear he does not like immigrants and will do everything in his power to make America “great” again. Trump has created this analogy that Mexicans come to United States to do crime and be bad residents. The techniques Trump was doing sort of a brainwash method. When he was running for presidency Trump would repeat how if he was president he would make America “great” again. The actions started off smoothly until he started to attack the Mexican race for no other reason than simply racism. Racism because there was no need for him to accuse all Mexicans of being criminals, drug dealers, and stealers of jobs.
