18 Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law 183 (1997) |
Since the enactment of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the courts have struggled to define the burdens of proof surrounding the central issue of an employer's alleged discriminatory intent. What evolved was the McDonnell Douglas framework, premised upon established concepts of circumstantial proof and inference. The approach permits... |

THE ERA OF WE-CONSTRUCTION: RECLAIMING THE POLITICS OF ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN IDENTITY AND REFLECTIONS ON THE CRITIQUE OF THE BLACK/WHITE PARADIGM |
29 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 47 (Fall 1997) |
My six-year-old half-Asian son has just had his first Ching Chong Chinaman taunting in school. I was expecting it, but it threw me off-balance nevertheless. He said it hurt his feelings and asked me for answers. I, of course, had none. I thought about what the appropriate response was for a six-year-old whose new consciousness of racism had begun... |

THE JURISPRUDENCE OF THERAPEUTIC JURISPRUDENCE |

THE MYTH OF BLACK JUROR NULLIFICATION: RACISM DRESSED UP IN JURISPRUDENTIAL CLOTHING |

In recent years, African-American (and other minority) jurors have regularly been accused of judging cases on preconceived race-based notions about justice rather than on the evidence. Anecdotal accounts of a handful of allegedly race-based acquittals are bolstered by statistics claiming to show higher rates of acquittal and hung juries in... |

Prevalent constructions of race and identity have oversimplified complex issues about how people of color identify themselves and are identified by others.

This article raises the question of whether the Internal Revenue Code systematically favors whites over blacks.
