What is Race • An old classification system based on – Skin colour – Bodily features • • Accent/speech Name Clothing/grooming Diet Beliefs/practices Leisure preferences Place of origin Citizenship
Problems with concept of Race • Lack of scientific evidence for racial classification system – Differences within races on important characteristics are greater than those between races • Social belief in existence of race has persisted despite lack of scientific proof
What is not Race? • Difference between race &…. – Gender – Discrimination, prejudice, stereotyping – Other cultural characteristics (e. g. , individualism) • Use test of amt of differences between vs. within groups
What is discrimination? • Discrimination – When similar or better qualified applicant… • Does not get job applied for • Gets job below qualification • Receives lower pay for same job Krauss in NYT
What is discrimination? • Unequal treatment or behavior toward members of different groups (Stephan & Stephan 02) • Distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on group membership impairing human rights (Human rights doc) – Impose burdens not imposed on others – Withhold or limit access to benefits available to others
Examples of Discrimination • Individual – E. g. , behaviors like different performance ratings for members of different groups all else being equal • Institutional – Policies, practices, procedures that disadvantage members of some groups – Unequal representation in upper & middle layers of administration, economic & media institutions Compare with Brief et al
Examples of Discrimination • Societal – Group differences in • Poverty • Imprisonment • Access to employment, housing, healthcare
Prejudice Discrimination Stereotype Stephan & Stephan 02
What are stereotypes • Associating members of certain groups with certain characteristics – E. g. , Perceived to be alike in some way (i. e. have similar traits) • E. g. , Most Asians are “smart”, “geeky”, “have similar eye size” • Can be positive or negative • Can be true/false of group &/ individual • Implications for functionality Stephan & Stephan 02
Examples of Stereotypes • Confusing one member of group for another – Believing them to be similar in personality or behavior • E. g. , editors vs. journalists • Assuming characteristics of individual based on group membership – E. g. , assuming your are nanny because you are Filipino, – E. g. Assuming non-Whites are not Canadian citizens or were not born in canada Wong’s Globe & Mail
What are not stereotypes? • Prejudice – Negative feelings (e. g. , dislike) toward someone because of group they belong to • Discrimination – Behavior/outcome Wong in Globe & Mail; Krauss in NYT
What are not stereotypes • Culturally valid characteristics – e. g. , collectivism • Asians score higher (in general) on collectivism, • Any single Asian may not score higher than a non-Asian on collectivism • Scores on collectivism can be reliably measured • Scores on collectivism are related to important other characteristics
What is racism/prejudice? • Negative attitudes • Negative evaluations & feelings • E. g. , Evaluations: They are bad… • Feelings: I hate. . • Stephan & Stephan 02 – Compare w/Human Rights doc definitions • Racism vs. prejudice has notion of power • Sociologically based
