Community and Race

Community and race are directly related to each
other. Since community is a large society
composed of a number of people with different
backgrounds, people are categorized into
several groups according to their ethnicity.
Moreover, each of the particular ethnic groups
is considered a subculture group. Although the
subculture groups follow the same laws and
rules of the community, they share a distinctive
set of cultural beliefs and behaviors that differ
in some significant way from the larger society.
(Kendall 1998:61) The unlike beliefs can lead
to conflicts and arguments between different
race groups. Likewise, racism is also found in a
community when a particular group
discriminates or abuses members of another
race. Therefore, local government or some
community associations are responsible for
providing anti-racism knowledge to every
member in the community and encourage them
to build up a friendly neighborhood in order to
keep the society stable. Kabeer in "The
Structure of ‘Revealed Preference’" describes
how racism destroys a sense of community, and
Bangladeshi group suffer a lot from this issue.
Also, Englund in "An Indian Remembers"
describes native students that are victims of
racism by the priest and the nuns at school. In
contrast, Counts and Counts in "They’re Family
Now" mention that the RVers community is full
of harmony without discriminating other
members’ race, educational level, age, etc., and
they have a friendly neighborhood.

members of the local community. The
Bangladeshis follow the same laws and rules as
other local residents, British – whites, but
carrying different culture beliefs. Therefore, the
Bangladeshi people are considered a subculture
group of the white community. For example,
the Bangladeshi culture has a very unique way
of thinking about women entering into the work
force. They believe that "women are primarily,
often solely, responsible for child care and
housework and hence the assignment of women
to home-based forms of income earning."
(Kabeer 1995: 40) Moreover, women "is
shameful to work with men." (Kabeer 1995: 35)
Therefore, one can hardly see a Bangladeshis
woman working outside of their home in the
factory.

Further, Bangladeshis men are having a hard
time finding jobs from the market; they can
never find a job without references or
introductions by...
