Answer 1

We'll leave the research to you

Answer 2

Race does not predetermine the outcome of your life. Attitude has more to do with it than anything. Much of the disparity between the races has been debunked by Jerad Diamond. Values placed on people and how to react or work within their environment are more consistant with outcome. For instance, there is a culture of poverty, those born into it have a mindset that tends to reinforce itself. I cannot recall the book but one that spells out the a winning attitude is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. 88 percent of new millionaires are first generation and if you are not a native born American you are six times more likely to become one than those born and bred here.

Answer 3

is this home work
????
what do you mean race ,like English,or caucasion

anybody with brains who works hard can get ahead
Race is irrelevant most of the time ,depends where you live
In the democratic ,hipocritical,USA is a lot of racism so there you may run into problems.

but in the rest of the world it is education and iniciative that determines the outcome of your life.

Answer 4

yes in some ways
- racism WILL prevent some people from getting elected, or even chosen as a candidate to start with. Check the demographics. Zero German-origin politicians in Canadian Government one example, very disproportionate numbers of black people in US government
- government programs and some banks and companies WILL choose promotion or job applicants, clerks, who are "visible minorities" White men don't have a chance.
- Hotels in southern states, janitors are mostly black, rich , semi-rich guests are mostly white
- check stories of childhood racial bullying, and young adulthood intimidation etc, diverts people's ambitions or confidence
- If you were English background in Canada in the 50's 60's 70's etc in Canada, you'd be a step ahead, favouritism in business, others were to take jobs they wouldn't do

Answer 5

It may, but it shouldn't.
I did see a news coverage of certain "names" that employers wouldn't consider to interview, ex. The name " Ryan " has more chances of getting hired then " Shaquan"
The again, it also depends on your level of education, and personality, the effort you make in breaking down the barriers to your choice of career.

Answer 6

Fact: the only thing that determines the out come of your life is how much hard work and effort you put in to making it a success. true people do try to hold you back, but it up to you whether you r going to go on and continue to better yourself or let them control how far you go. Source: my life and experiences.

Answer 7

No, but it can be a big influence.
Michael Jackson, a Black man, was the King of Pop in 1984. (google "King of Pop"). In recent memory, there have been plenty of Black mayors of large cities in the USA. Similarly, there have been plenty of white singers and mayors. *shrug*

Answer 8

I think people would treat me different if they really knew my race. I look the opposite of what I really am

Answer 9

no,

however it does pose different obstacles depending on your demographics

race would be a factor for me in say Yreka as for you not even .
However race for you would be a factor in Richmond but not for me.

Answer 10

Maybe maybe not. I'd like to think " The fault is not in the stars but in ourselves. " Closer to realistic, I'd think.
