Some Are Born White, Some Achieve Whiteness, and Some Have Whiteness Thrust upon Them: Mexican Americans and the Politics of Racial Classification in the Federal Judicial Bureaucracy, Twenty-five Years after Hernandez V. Texas |
25 Chicano-Latino Law Review 201 (Spring 2005) |
This paper examines the problem of the racial and ethnic classification of Mexican Americans, and later, Hispanics, in terms of both self- and official identification, during the quarter-century after Hernandez v. Texas. The Hernandez case was the landmark 1954 decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court condemned the systematic exclusion of persons... |

The Impact of Alcohol and Tobacco Advertising on the Latino Community as a Civil Rights Issue |
16 Berkeley La Raza Law Journal 71 (Fall 2005) |
The impact of alcohol and tobacco advertising on the Latino community is a health issue, and as this paper will discuss, also a civil rights issue. Tobacco and alcohol use have not always been viewed in this way. For example, during the Prohibition Era of the 1920's, alcohol abuse was considered a moral issue. Attitudes in this country towards... |

The Ramifications of the Federal Communications Commission's Failure to Minimize Negative Media Portrayals of Latinas and Black Women |
11 Cardozo Women's Law Journal 331 (Winter 2005) |
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) contributes to the subjugation of minorities by failing to implement policies that encourage accurate portrayals of minorities. A correlation exists between negative media portrayals, or stereotypical portrayals of minorities, and the manner in which society perceives and reacts to them. Stereotypes are a... |

Women of the West: the Evolution of Marital Property Laws in the Southwestern United States and Their Effect on Mexican-american Women |
26 Women's Rights Law Reporter 139 (Spring-Summer 2005) |
Colonialism and conquest are inevitably tied to clashes of culture and law. It was no different when the United States defeated Mexico in 1848 and captured what has become the American Southwest. The role women played in this clash of societies must be considered in the context of the swiftly changing legal status of women in the eastern United... |

A Different Shade of Brown: Latinos and School Desegregation |
88 Judicature 85 (September-October 2004) |
School desegregation cases have long been dominated by a Black-White conception of race, yet Latinos, as an ethnic group, do not fit squarely within this binary. This disconnect has led to the popular misconception that Latinos have been largely absent from the history of school desegregation. Quite to the contrary, the first successful school... |

So you see it is up to the white population to keep the Mexican on his knees in an onion patch or in new ground. This does not mix well with education.

Imprisonment has many consequences for prisoners and for the community as well. Of the many obstacles that ex-prisoners encounter, one is the restriction of voting participation.

How Racial Profiling and Other Unnecessary Post-9/11 Anti-immigrant Measures Have Exacerbated Long-standing Discrimination Against Latino Citizens and Immigrants |
