How have African Americans and Chicanx/Latinx communities been racialized? What specific elements of the groups’ physicality, intelligence

Reading Reaction 2-Meets SLO 2
Thus far, we have covered the ways that African American and Latinx/Chicanx Communities
have face discrimination and marginalization historically in the U.S. The mistreatment these
communities have faced has been due to the way American Society has racialized them as
inferior (physically, intellectually, and culturally). These groups have also resisted the how they
have been mistreated through organizing various iterations of Social Justice Movements (Black
Civil Rights to #BlackLivesMatter and Chicano Movemiento to Immigrant Rights Movement). For
this assignment, I want you to discuss what you have learned about these topics through
writing a comprehensive essay. In this essay I want you to answer the following questions:
1) How have African Americans and Chicanx/Latinx communities been racialized? What
specific elements of the groups’ physicality, intelligence, and culture have been cast as
different, abnormal, foreign, and/or inferior?
2) What was the specific purpose of racializing African Americans and Chicanx/Latinx
communities? How has the racially subordinated position assigned to African Americans
and Chicanx/Latinx groups made them vulnerable to specific forms of mistreatment,
discrimination, and marginalization?
3) How have African Americans and Chicanx/Latinx communities resisted their
racialization, mistreatment, discrimination, and marginalization? What are the specific
similarities and differences between their various movements for Social Justice?
(identify one similarity and one difference between the Social Justice movements)
