- Ext 2 – No Global Spillover
Ext #1 – Root Cause1. White Supremacy – the notion of white superiority causes racism to constantly reproduce itself in structures of society 2. The plan is only a drop in a bucket – although the plan may solve an instance of racism, it doesn’t stop the cultural notion from spreading 3. Takes out their case – racism will just proliferate in another form of social service to exclude more minorities – even if the plan is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t prevent or lessen future racism 4. Prefer our card – Robinson has a PhD and assumes the plan’s efforts and still concludes its useless 5. The root cause of racism is grounded in identity – the aff is only an instance of stopping exclusion, not redefining identity West Africa Review, Committee on Racism Conference in 7 September 2001 http://www.westafricareview.com/vol3.1/racism-5.htm Racism lies solely in the human mind. The root cause of racism and discrimination is thus a crisis of identity at the individual and collective level. Bringing about the required change in attitudes and ways of life, and in equality and justice, requires a process of healing, accompanied by the rediscovery of the true self and re-identification with the unity of the larger human family. In that regard, it is both parties involved in discriminatory action who must be healed. Abuse defiles the victim, but its perpetrator also debases and dehumanizes himself. Ultimately, only we can deprive ourselves of our own self-respect. Understanding the sacredness of each person opens the door to perceiving the essential oneness of the human family. There is but one race - the human race. 6. Media perpetuates racist stereotypes Associated Content, April 22, 2007 “The 4 Causes of Racism” http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/211605/the_4_causes_of_racism.html?cat=47 One of the most common causes of racism is stereotypes. Through television, through radio, through the internet, through music, through books, and the like, the potential for stereo types to build are a definite possibility. When a person, especially one that is very young, is exposed to stereotypes of a specific group for the first time, then that person will assume all are that way. Likewise, when a source is constantly displaying negative things about a particular race, then that will affect the overall opinions as well. 7. Unfamiliarity with other races Associated Content, April 22, 2007 “The 4 Causes of Racism” http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/211605/the_4_causes_of_racism.html?cat=47 Another very common, and probably the most common cause of racism is unfamiliarity. People fear what they do not know or understand. If someone hasn't grown up around a particular race before, then there is more of a chance the person can be racist toward that particular group. Not all the time, but when the person has already been fed negative stereotypes, and does not have the actual real life experiences with at least one within the particular group, then the chances of racism are increased. This is why it is important for children to be around other races at a young age: to ensure they get their minds used and adapted to being around them, and also to help counterbalance any false stereotypes they may encounter in the future. 8. Even if they win some risk of solvency, racism will always sneak in through the back door Sumi Cho, American Asian Studies Professor, December 1998 “The State Copts Movements designed to challenge Racism” Boston College Law Review., p. 159 Racially based social movements that arise in the form of political projects defy and define the racial state by creating ruptures that lead to the restoration of a new equilibrium. In turn, the racial state "co-opts" racial movements by absorbing the least threatening demands through the creation of new rules, policies, programs and agencies. Ext #2 – No Global Spillover1. Other countries will still be racist – the Darfur genocide proves there’s worse racism in other parts of the world 2. Nazism in Europe Anup Shah December 20, 2004 “Racism” http://www.globalissues.org/article/165/racism#RacisminEurope Europe is often one of the first places people think of when racism is discussed. From the institutionalized racism, especially in colonial times, when racial beliefs — even eugenics — were not considered something wrong, to recent times where the effects of neo-Nazism is still felt. Europe is a complex area with many cultures in a relatively small area of land that has seen many conflicts throughout history. (Note that most of these conflicts have had trade and resource access at their core, but national identities have often added fuel to some of these conflicts.) 3. Aborigines in Australia Anup Shah December 20, 2004 “Racism” http://www.globalissues.org/article/165/racism#RacisminEurope Australia has also had a very racist past in which apartheid has been practiced and where indigenous Aboriginal people have lost almost all their land and suffered many prejudices. In the past, the notorious policy that led to the Stolen Generation was practiced. This was the institutionalized attempt to prevent Aboriginal children (and thus future generations) from being socialized into Aboriginal culture. (This also ocurred in various parts of the Americas too.) Aborigines are the poorest group in Australia and suffer from very much preventable diseases. For more about these issues, you can start at these harrowing reports from John Pilger a prominent Australian journalist who has been critical of many western policies. The Sydney 2000 Olympics also brought some of Australia’s racist past and present to the fore. (On the positive side, many parts of Australia’s rich diversity in people is slowly helping relieve prejudism. However, some more traditional and conservative politicians are still openly racist.) 3. Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Middle East Anup Shah December 20, 2004 “Racism” http://www.globalissues.org/article/165/racism#RacisminEurope The situation of Palestine and Israel is also very contentious. Extreme views on both sides by perhaps a minority, but perhaps an influential and often violent minority, results in racism on both sides. 4. African countries Anup Shah December 20, 2004 “Racism” http://www.globalissues.org/article/165/racism#RacisminEurope While most of the conflicts have resources at their core, and involve a number of non-African nations and corporations, additional fuel is added to the conflict by stirring up ethnic differences and enticing hatred. (Also not that the artificial boundaries imposed in Africa by European colonialism and imperialism during the divide and rule policies has further exacerbated this situation and plays an enormous role in the root causes of these conflicts compared to what mainstream media presents.) In Zimbabwe, there has been increasing racism against the white farmers, due to poverty and lack of land ownership by Africans. South Africa until recently suffered from Apartheid, which legally segragated the African population from the Europeans.
Anup Shah December 20, 2004 “Racism” http://www.globalissues.org/article/165/racism#RacisminEurope A report from Survival International about the plight of the Innu people in Canada also reveals how racism can be a factor. In the words of the authors, the “report reveals how racist government policies, under the guise of benevolent ‘progress’, have crippled the Innu of eastern Canada — a once self-sufficient and independent people.” (While this report is about the problems of an indigenous people in Canada, it is a common story throughout history for many peoples and cultures. 6.
