Racism in America (African-American, Asian-American, Mexican-American)

Questions that your essay should consider include:

• What are the objective conditions of your chosen social problem?
• How has the claimsmaking process occurred, especially the construction of claims and the mobilization of claimsmakers?
• What role have different social actors (activists, experts, media, publics, policymakers, social problems workers and subjects, etc.) played in the social problems process?
• What have been the outcomes of these processes, in terms of both policies and changes in objective conditions?

Please write a well-organized paper that addresses these questions and draws upon ideas from the textbook and evidence from outside sources (news reports, books, magazines, websites, scholarly articles, etc.). You should make reference to no fewer than five reliable outside sources.

Your essay should run between one thousand and three thousand words, be double-spaced, and written in 12-point font with one-inch margins. You can use the formal citation format of your choice (APA, Chicago, etc.).
