Race/Ethnicity by SES by Culture interactions
by Burke, Mack
I also have Finnish and German colleagues who do work in Africa- and depending on the cultural issues are- well- complex- take Rwanda for example- where discussion of ethnicity are outlawed:
https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/09/world/a-decade-after-massacres-rwanda-...
https://apnews.com/article/rwanda-genocide-anniversary-explainer-hutu-tut...
https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2019/03/28/rwanda-has-ba...
https://apnews.com/article/us-un-congo-rwanda-conflict-m23-rebels-232db27...
And as the US gets more diverse- I continue to think there will be more of a need to identify some universal principles of culture- my guess- some sort of return to old fashioned liberalism/conservativism- somewhere in there- unfortunately- the current multi-cultural framework in academia is anti-integrationist in nature (e.g., separate graduations by race for example is currently considered progressive in academia)- and the idea is more like European multi-culturalism- which resists universals also- where cultural groups self-segregate and maintain their own norms, language, believes, religion, neighborhoods etc. etc. except for perhaps work- if they are among the educated class- likely not otherwise. And even for the educated class- they have their own norms- so divisions then occur by SES-
Sociologists are also looking at dismantlement of “White America”- or “Americans of European Ancestry” is the current term- I was called a “Euro” once in a meeting- had to ask what they were talking about- “I have some Euros from my last trip to Germany- but they aren’t on me”…the libertarian sociologist Charles Murry who wrote the Bell Curve (we can have a different conversation about that one)- put together a “bubble quiz” you can take to illustrate the growing divide and shrinking middle class in white American-
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/did-you-grow-up-in-a-bubble-these-zi...
The questions are interesting-
Have you ever held a job that caused something to hurt at the end of the day?
Do you now have a close friend with whom you have strong and wide-ranging political disagreements?
Have you ever had a close friend who could seldom get better than Cs in high school even if he or she tried hard?
Have you shopped at Walmart in the past year?
Have you ever walked a factory floor?
You can see how “bubbly” you are- more for you all to help us figure out- MDB

Thanks for sharing these thoughtful, debatable, socially and culturally loaded issues and then most important is the role of religion.
It gives us lots of research ideas as well.! Which societies would choose one vs the other option? Why? Which individuals? The level of religiosity and its relation to these decisions to be made. Individuality vs collectivism?....

Some of you might like- Just got back from judging a Bioethics competition that my dear friend and colleague Dr. Carter got me roped into…it was a great multi-cultural cross section of very smart philosophy students- some the most anti-fragile undergrads I have seen in years- a couple prepping for med school- descend on Baylor from across the country to debate incredibly difficult questions there is no clear answer- like: is it morally ethical for someone with a disability to use germline genetic therapy/genetic editing to remove the genetic basis of their disability and eliminate future suffering for their offspring and for future generations- basically eradicating it. An extension of current logic in many areas. For example, there are no people with Down’s Syndrome for example in Iceland and many Nordic countries.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/down-syndrome-iceland/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.cbsnews.com/news/down-syndrome-ice...>
And is a recuring issue in the UK-
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/28/mps-bring-bill-to-ban-late-...<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/28/...>
And likely will see it as a robust issue in the US as there is a strong pro-life disability advocacy group- especially among traditional Catholics and the faith based community which will put the issue of disability and choice on the front burner- who in a related issue- just put out an encyclical letter critiquing gender theory. People forget- social justice is a deeply religious idea- the person who coined the term was Luigi Tapreli- a Jesuit priest in 1848 and serves as the bases of Catholic Social Teaching. In today’s language- it is a cultural appropriation in the way it is currently being used politically. So- expect more cultural conflicts on that front as those of faith reassert its original meanings.
https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/vatican-news/vatican-human-dignity-docu...<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ncronline.org/vatican/vatican-news...>
Interestingly- the counter point used in the Bioethics competition was from Elizabeth Barnes- a disability studies professor who is in the Philosophy Department at University of Virginia and the mere difference view. I was looking at some of her views- which are interesting- I had to do my own homework.
