According to Yosso, "Vincent Tinto's Stages of Passage" model argues that students engage in three processes early on in college: separation, transition and incorporation. However, in the Esmeralda section of Yosso's book, where Esmeralda narrates the story, one discovers that this is really just a specific formulation of stages geared to focus on the experiences of white students and doesn't at all encapsulate the very unique and very distinct experience of minority students. Esmeralda's first stage refers to the imminent culture shock that Chicana/o students are met with when they experience life on a college campus (Yosso, 125). The culture, lifestyle, and expectations turn out to be drastically, different from what they are used to. The second stage devised refers to the act of building up a sense of community among the Chicana/o and other ethnic minority students to help them combat the sense of racism they experience on college campuses (Yosso, 120). The final stage refers to the process of critical navigation (Yosso, 125). This is the process where as a collective, Hispanic and Latino students need to figure out how to best survive and succeed in this foreign environment which is somewhat inhospitable to them.
Thus, when one compares Tinto's stages vs. Esmeralda's, one sees clearly that the experience of higher learning is drastically different for Hispanics vs. Caucasians. While white students might have a brief period of separation, they then receive the smooth transition of becoming eventually incorporated into the institution. With Chicana/o students there is a much more pronounced struggle.

Critics believe that this social pattern can change only when a total social transformation occurs in resolving the "us-vs.-them" conflict (Vorster 2002). A form of government must be established, which will respect diversity and foster unity as well as protect basic human rights. The apartheid system in South Africa is the best example of racism. But proponents may argue that the system was exceptional and that such form of racism
Also, selective scholarships and empowerment of some Blacks, in a world where most Blacks are still, continually not recognized as full citizens, can be divisive rather than empowering to a marginalized community. Even the forms of Black enfranchisement can be reinforcing of stereotypes. The experiences of the Invisible Man, who has been given a scholarship by the school not for the excellence of his mind, but more for the prowess
Improving Race Relations Through Education: Teaching Children Diversity An article in the journal Childhood Today (Swiniarski, 2006) offers numerous helpful and resourceful ideas for teaching children about how to become "citizens of the world." This is not a strategy that specifically teaches about "racism" or "racial prejudice"; but according to the author, teaching children about the responsibilities of being "a world citizen" in fact embraces (in a hands-on environment) the issues
Polygenism, which posits that humans stem from a diversity of races and, therefore, have distinctions, is the converse of monogenism that posits that all of humanity is from one undifferentiated origin. Whilst it is true that we each have our distinct cultural background and that these cultural backgrounds can be, occasionally, hugely different in values, practices, ways of thinking, opening, beliefs and so forth, monogenism, such as Christianity, nonetheless believes that
How Racism and Discrimination Affects ‘Civil Rights’ and Student Rights Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another.
