A word about racism: We searched Congress and found 50 occasions when this House and the other body debated racebased outcomes. Of course. those references to racial preferences and reverse discrimination and racebased setasides were about affirmative action. Whenever this Congress subpoenas government records of Americans at the INS. for a narrow slice of time in a small geographic region the outcome will be racebased. In Grand Rapids. Michigan. the outcome would unfairly target Dutch immigrants. in San Francisco. the Chinese immigrants. in Miami. the Cubans would be unfairly labeled. and in Providence. Rhode Island. it would be Italians. Racism is persistent and as real today as it was 100 years ago.
Identified stereotypes
