2nd Update: Ok before we move on to the debriefing stage, I just wanted to move this post back to the top to see if we can get a few more answers.\u00a0 Keep in mind the groups that people disagree on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the debate in the comments section on the immigration thread, I thought this might be a good exercise\/thread. This comes from a classroom exercise I used, which is based on an article by Doug Daniels((Daniels, Doug. \u201cThe White Race is Shrinking: Perceptions of Race in Canada and Some Speculations on the Political Economy of Race Classification.\u201d Pp. 51-54 in Critical White Studies: Looking Behind the Mirror by R. Delgado and Jean Stefancic (Eds.). Philadelphia, PA: Temple University Press.))<\/p>\n

For the following groups, please answer whether or not each group is white: YES or NO<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chileans<\/li>\n
  2. Irish<\/li>\n
  3. English<\/li>\n
  4. Iranians<\/li>\n
  5. Cameroonians<\/li>\n
  6. Israelis<\/li>\n

    UPDATE: Part 2 of the project.<\/u><\/strong>Now let’s look at the ones that we disagree on………Israelis, Chileans, are there any others? Why do you think we disagree about these particular groups? What do you think this says about the construction of whiteness?<\/strong><\/p>\n
