This research paper: A 5 page essay that analyzes Patricia J. Williams' essay "The Ethnic Scarring of American Whiteness," which argues that one of the root causes of racism and bigoted behavior is the heritage of prejudice that has dogged, not just blacks, but all ethnic groups at one time or another. In making this argument Williams specifically pinpoints how lower class whites, who are denigrated in popular media as "rednecks," see themselves as an oppressed "minority." Williams sees this position in society as symptomatic of a societal prevalence toward prejudice. In so doing, Williams takes the position that any "joking" about any group promotes a heritage of hatred that denies the humanity of some particular group of people. No additional sources cited.
