  • White by Law---Haney Lopez (Abridged Version)
    White by Law The Legal Construction of Race Revised and Updated 10th Anniversary Edition Ian Haney Lόpez NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS New York and London (2006) 1│White Lines In its first words on the subject of citizenship, Congress in 1790 restricted naturalization to “white persons.” Though the requirements for naturalization changed frequently thereafter, this racial prerequisite to citizenship endured for over a century and a half, remaining in force until 1952. From the earliest years of this country until just a generation ago, being a “white person” was a condition for acquiring citizenship. Whether one was “white” however, was often no easy question. As immigration reached record highs at the turn of this century, countless people found themselves arguing their racial identity in order to naturalize. From 1907, when the federal government began collecting data on naturalization, until 1920, over one million people gained citizenship under the racially restrictive naturalization laws. Many more sought to naturalize and were rejected. Naturalization rarely involved formal court proceedings and therefore usually generated few if any written records beyond the simple decision. However, a number of cases construing the “white person” prerequisite reached the highest state and federal judicial circles, and two were argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in the early 1920s. These cases produced illuminating published decisions that document the efforts of would-be citizens from around the world to establish their Whiteness at law. Applicants from Hawaii, China, Japan, Burma, and the Philippines, as well as all mixed- race applicants, failed in their arguments. Conversely, courts ruled that applicants from Mexico and Armenia were “white,” but vacillated over the Whiteness of petitioners from Syria, India, and Arabia.

  • And the Hamitic Hypothesis
    religions Article Ancient Egyptians in Black and White: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ and the Hamitic Hypothesis Justin Michael Reed Department of Biblical Studies, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY 40205, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this essay, I consider how the racial politics of Ridley Scott’s whitewashing of ancient Egypt in Exodus: Gods and Kings intersects with the Hamitic Hypothesis, a racial theory that asserts Black people’s inherent inferiority to other races and that civilization is the unique possession of the White race. First, I outline the historical development of the Hamitic Hypothesis. Then, I highlight instances in which some of the most respected White intellectuals from the late-seventeenth through the mid-twentieth century deploy the hypothesis in assertions that the ancient Egyptians were a race of dark-skinned Caucasians. By focusing on this detail, I demonstrate that prominent White scholars’ arguments in favor of their racial kinship with ancient Egyptians were frequently burdened with the insecure admission that these ancient Egyptian Caucasians sometimes resembled Negroes in certain respects—most frequently noted being skin color. In the concluding section of this essay, I use Scott’s film to point out that the success of the Hamitic Hypothesis in its racial discourse has transformed a racial perception of the ancient Egyptian from a dark-skinned Caucasian into a White person with appearance akin to Northern European White people. Keywords: Ham; Hamite; Egyptian; Caucasian; race; Genesis 9; Ridley Scott; Charles Copher; Samuel George Morton; James Henry Breasted Citation: Reed, Justin Michael. 2021.

To this end, the research involved three prongs. First, we examined race/ethnicity of all directors associated with U.S. dramatic and documentary films selected and screened at Sundance Film Festival (SFF) between 2002 and 2013. Using a modified version of U.S. Census categories, a total of 1,068 directors across more than 900 films were categorized into one or more racial/ethnic groups. Second, we assessed how diversity behind the camera was related to on screen diversity.

  • The Burdens of Being White: Empire and Disfranchisement
    THEBURDENS OF BEINGWHITE: EMPIREAND DISFRANCHISEMENT R. Volney Riser* There was never any doubt that Alabama's 1901 constitutional con- vention would craft a scheme to disfranchise voters in large numbers- black men particularly. Because their plans clearly violated the Fif- teenth Amendment, the delegates spent considerable time reassuring themselves that the North would not intervene. As a part of that exer- cise, the disfranchisers chased hints of external approval with messianic zeal, willing to go as far afield as the Pacific Rim and Caribbean Sea to find them. To many delegates, American expansion into those regions through the acquisition of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines seemed to be a fortuitous development. Delegate and future governor Emmett 07Neal of Florence told the gathering that the so-called race problem was "no longer confined to the States of the South."' Territo- rial expansion and its attendant problems, he opined, had triggered a sea change in inter-sectional relations, "and in the wise solution of this question we have the sympathy instead of the hostility of the N~rth."~ Richard Channing Jones, a former University of Alabama president and Wilcox County delegate, believed the spirit of sectional reconciliation that emerged during the Spanish-American War had ended the threat of federal intervention. The war "has brought about a change," he said, because the Republicans have "had a great deal of trouble" with island- ers "outside of the Caucasian race."3 The result, Jones sensed, was that "[t]housands and thousands of them who were our enemies are in full Mr. Riser is a cum laude graduate of Florida State University.

  • A Study of Prostaglandin Pathway Genes and Interactions with Current Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Use in Colorectal Adenoma
    Published OnlineFirst May 2, 2012; DOI: 10.1158/1940-6207.CAPR-11-0459 Cancer Prevention Research Article Research A Study of Prostaglandin Pathway Genes and Interactions with Current Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Use in Colorectal Adenoma Todd L. Edwards1,2, Martha J. Shrubsole1,3,5, Qiuyin Cai1,3, Guoliang Li1, Qi Dai1,5, Douglas K. Rex7, Thomas M. Ulbright8, Zhenming Fu1, Harvey J. Murff1,3,5, Walter Smalley4,5,6, Reid Ness4, and Wei Zheng1,3,5 Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death and usually arises from colorectal polyps. Screening and removal of polyps reduce mortality from CRC. Colorectal polyps are known to aggregate in families; however the genetic determinants for risk of polyps are unknown. In addition, it has been shown that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use decreases the risk of CRC and the incidence and size of polyps. In this study, we used data from the Tennessee Colorectal Polyp Study and the Tennessee–Indiana Adenoma Recurrence Study to evaluate selected genes from the pros- taglandin (PG) metabolism and signaling pathways for association with risk of polyps and for interactions with NSAIDs. Our design consisted of discovery and replication phases for a total of 2,551 Caucasian polyp cases and 3,285 Caucasian controls. We carried out multivariable logistic regression to test for association in both the discovery and replication phase and further examined the results with meta-analysis. We detected association signals in the genes PGE receptor 3 (PTGER3) and 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD), both strong biologic candidates for influence on polyp risk.

Christina Shu Jien Chong* INTRODUCTION New Republic selected the title “The Triumph of Asian-Americans” to de- scribe Asian Pacific Americans (“APAs”) as “America’s greatest success story.”1 American media portrays APAs as an assimilated race “that adds more to . society than it takes away.”2 In 2004, U.S. census data showcased APAs and Whites with similar incomes.3 However, this data is distorted because many APAs did not report their unemployment status due to language barriers.4 APA families also have more working members than White families and are concentrated in areas where the cost of living is higher than the national average, such as California, Hawaii, and New * Christina Chong received her B.A. and J.D. from the University of California (UC), Berkeley.

  • Asian American Representation in Media
    WHITE WASHED OUT: ASIAN AMERICAN REPRESENTATION IN MEDIA HELEN YANG Yang 2 Abstract Since the Oscars first began in 1929, less than one percent of annual Academy Award nominations have included Asian Americans. Within the one percent, they have only become notably recognized for their contributions as the tokenized character – a product of Westernized racism and discrimination – while white actors are chosen to fulfill lead Asian roles in an act of “Yellowface”. Using a three-pronged research model of statistical, historical, and psycho-sociolinguistic analyses, this study examines the societal implications of misrepresentation within the media and its affects over minority and race relations throughout the United States. Using information from the United States census and summary statistics over the demographic compositions of the Oscars, disaggregated data is used in conjunction with a historical breakdown of Asian American chronicles and documented immigrant studies. Hour-long interviews were also conducted with volunteers to inspect the negative repercussions of the model minority myth and dissect the role that media plays in cultivating implicit bias against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in current generations. Overall, the study discovered how underrepresentation negatively correlates with the self-esteems of Asian American individuals. The lack of accurate representation within the media significantly debilitates the confidence and self-image of Asian Americans, which contributes to long-term disadvantages during their academic lives and when pursuing careers within the Humanities and Arts. These findings suggest that misrepresentation of minorities within the media fuels systemic racism and perpetuates normalized notions built on stereotypes and falsely imposed identities of Asian Americans.
