- 111: Anti-Semitism in The Merchant of Venice
- ... Shylock or Shylock showing his prejudice to the Christian's. I imagine that anyone watching, listening or reading this play would see how everyone was hurt, and would learn of racism's faulty basis's for judging someone. Some people would have you think that the play itself is racist, and provides a forum in which racism can grow and become only a bigger problem. I think that this is a flawed way of looking at it. I see the play as a confrontation of a modern day problem which society still faces. Rather than providing a forum for racism to grow, the play provides a forum for anti-racism discussion, if all proper steps are taken. When I say if all proper steps are taken, I am referring ...

First, they equal racism with individual prejudice and personal ignorance, which allow them to assume every group is racist, and to avoid acknowledging the differences in power and privileges between whites and groups ...
- 113: A Senator's Pain
- ... entitled "Application of the Law" contributes more to Smith's piece than does the monologue by Elaine Brown entitled "Ask Saddam Hussein," because when a Senator notices the reality of racism it seems authentic. Although both Bradley and Brown give similar information it is ironic that a white Senator showed more anger toward racism than the former Black Panther. When Senator Bradley begins telling his story his he points out how our society still has inequalities as he says, "I mean, you know, it ... handcuff on him...All the while pointing a gun out at him" (Smith: 215). It is not fair that this African-American Law School student has to put up with racism just because his skin color and the "well-to-do" neighborhood he was driving through. Bradley's anger shows the reader that racism should not exist because our Constitution ...

- ... of the film’s ideas and problems are common in most westerns, although Mel Brooks has added a twist. In addition, the movie pokes fun at a more modern theme, racism.

There are never any African-Americans in older westerns, especially sheriffs. Second, the ... foreman yells, “Dock that chink a days pay for nappin’ on the job.” The word “chink” is a derogatory name for Oriental people.
