Is Integration a Discriminatory Purpose? Michel/,e Adams* ABSTRACT: Is integration a form of discrimination? Remarkably, recent Supreme Court doctrine suggests that the answer to this question may well be yes. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Court characterizes-for the very first time-government action taken to avoid disparate-impact liability and to integrate the workplace as "race-based, " and then invalidates that action under a heightened /,evel of judicial review. Consequently, Ricci suggests that the Court is open to the "equiva/,ence doctrine, " which posits that laws intended to racially integrate are morally and constitutionally equiva/,ent to laws intended to racially separate. Under the equiva/,ence doctrine, integration is simply another form of discrimination. The Court has not yet fully embraced this view. Ricci contains a significant limiting princip!,e: To be actionab/,e, the government's action must create racial harm, i.e., sing/,e out individuals on the basis of their race for some type of adverse treatment.

  • ABSTRACT Arab American Racialization and Its Effect
    ABSTRACT Arab American Racialization and its Effect oniAmerican Islamophobiaa in the United States Catherine Haseman Director: Dr. Lisa Lacy, Ph.D. Over the past few years, anti-Muslim and anti-Arab rhetoric and discrimination has surged. Prejudice against Arabs and Muslims has moved from the fringes of American society to the mainstream. The American Islamophobic discourse is so deeply rooted in U.S. history, culture, and society that we often misunderstand its origins as well as its manifestations. This paper proposes a critical dialogue about how to understand one contested concept (Islamophobia) by using another contested one (racialization). This paper seeks to understand if--and if so, to what extent--racialization is central to understanding America’s pernicious brand of Islamophobia. In addition to reviewing the historical connection between racialization and Islamophobia, this paper analyzes the results of a survey of Texans’ views of Islam and Muslims. The survey results are used to understand how racialized conceptions of Arab Muslims correspond with Islamophobic tropes.

THE INTERNET IS FOR DISCRIMINATION: PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES AND THEORETICAL HURDLES FACING THE FAIR HOUSING ACT ONLINE Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true. But everyone is just about as racistas you! The song Everyone's a Little Bit Racist from the popular Broadway musical Avenue Q proclaims, axiomatically, that "[elveryone makes judgments . based on race. [n]ot big judgments, like who to hire or who to buy a newspaper from ... just little judgments like thinking that Mexican busboys should learn to speak . English !",2 It teaches a troubling lesson that, despite superficial equality of opportunity, structural racism remains embedded in our society. The show takes a farcical view of the dilemma, and it proposes a solution: "If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit, and everyone stopped being so P.C., maybe we could live in-harmony!"3 The comedic song likely does not purport to make a serious policy statement addressing American racism; nonetheless, the message it sends is problematic.

  • White People's Choices Perpetuate School and Neighborhood
    EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF RESEARCH White People’s Choices Perpetuate School and Neighborhood Segregation What Would It Take to Change Them? Subtitle Here in Title Case Margery Austin Turner, Matthew M. Chingos, and Natalie Spievack April 2021 More than a century of public policies and institutional practices have built a system of separate and unequal schools and neighborhoods in the US. And a web of public policies—from zoning and land-use regulations and policing policies to school district boundaries and school assignment practices—sustain it today (Turner and Greene 2021). Substantial evidence documents the damage segregation inflicts on children of color and the potential benefits they can realize from racially integrated neighborhoods and schools (Chetty, Hendren, and Katz 2016; Johnson 2019; Sharkey 2013). Emerging evidence suggests that segregation may hurt white children as well, undermining their ability to live, work, and play effectively with people of color and thus their capacity to thrive in an increasingly multiracial society. White people’s choices about where to live and where to send their children to school are shaped by this entrenched and inequitable system. But their attitudes, preferences, and choices can also influence the policies that sustain the current system, either by defending policies that exclude people of color from well-resourced neighborhoods and schools or by supporting reforms that could advance greater inclusion and equity. Policymakers who want to advance neighborhood and school integration need to better understand the choices white people make to design initiatives that influence white families to make more prointegrative choices. Doing so could produce more diverse neighborhoods and schools in the near term and could expand white people’s support for more structural reforms to dismantle the separate and unequal system over the long term.
