JUST 3700 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Machismo, Ethnocentrism, De Jure
Document Summary
Blauner hypothesis- minority groups that are created through colonization are going to experience more prejudice, discrimination. That discrimination is going to last longer and be harder to overcome than those that are immigrant groups. Noel hypothesis- if two groups that are in competition with each other and have some form of bias (ethnocentrism) then you are going to experience stratification. Civil rights act of 1964- prohibits discrimination based on race, overturned plessy vs ferguson. De jure segregation- institutional racial segregation, jim crow laws. Black codes- anybody convicted of a crime, black or white, could be sentenced to spend their correctional time working on a plantation rather than spending their time working in a prison facility. De facto segregation- segregation that occurs because something is happening, people seem to be choosing where they go, live, etc. basically just racism. It is segregation that stayed around even when de jure segregation was gone because of the deep-rooted beliefs of white americans.
