Did German immigrants face segregation racism or prejudice?

I believe they did and still do, and if you want a simple example, then go search and read about all the ugly murders of black people in Germany by locals , and that didnt happen long time ago. And ofcourse we all know how their history is loaded with hatred against the Jews, specially in Nazi Germany, but to be fair most europeans hated the Jews too and discriminated them.

I hope my brieft answer helps you.

Are you born with racism?

You're not born with racism, but you are born with a tendency to place things into groups and stereotype. You're also born with a sensitivity to skin color, so most the human groups your brain forms are based on skin color and race. When you begin describing these groups based on skin color, people you are around who are already racist affect your descriptions of the racial groups. Also, you look closer at people with different skin colors, and so you are more likely to notice flaws found in all humans. You believe that they are characteristic of only the race since you never notice these in people with a "normal" skin color that you don't analyze as closely.

Should violence be used against racism?

The problem with violence is that it reinforces the self-belief of the racists themselves. Physically attacking a racist may make the victim of racism feel good for a while, but nothing changes. Avoiding violence or returning abuse may allow time for other solutions to work. Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and many others have shown that non-violence can be more effective. Having said that, I think everyone has the right to self-defence, if the racist actually resorts to physical violence. The above answer is most certainly correct, although, as pointed out some kind of violence may be necessary as a last resort. If so, this should only be done by the relevant authorities, after due process and not as a measure for retaliation but only protection.

It also depends what one's ultimate aim is. If one fights fire with fire, then often this just produces an escalation of violence, and a vicious cycle of violence and one is ultimately no better off than before, and in many cases worse off, even if one was originally innocent.

Attacking racism with knowledge is one important non-violent measure. This is so, since it really is the inner attitude of the racist person that needs to be changed. Realizing that scientifically and Biblically we are all 'of one blood' helps to dispel racist myths about superiority.

Interestingly, in regard to medical donations such as blood and tissue donations, a person of a different colored skin can actually be a better match than a person of the same skin color. This is so because humans are essentially genetically the same regardless of skin color. This shows how superficial racism is. Knowing that white people can donate to black people and vice-versa, and can even be a better match than a fellow black or white person, should help to attack the fallacy of racism at the practical and factual level.

Promoting such knowledge is a non-violent attack on racist attitudes.

What is Steinbeck's attitude towards racism in Of Mice and Men?

The characters in Steinbeck's novels often speak in the dialects of their regions (usually California) and also in a way that is realistic for their particular place in history (usually the 1930s but also indicative of the time of Steinbeck's death, which is 1968).

As a result of this, racist and other culturally insensitive language is employed in his literature.

However, Steinbeck, as the voice of his work, does not necessarily come off as being insensitive to civil rights.

In fact, in his travel log titled Travels with Charley in Search of America, Steinbeck kicks a man out of his recreational vehicle (which he had named Rocinante as homage to Don Quixote) for regarding him as a "n*gg*r lover."

Coupling this with, say, Crooks in Of Mice and Men, who is a discriminated stable buck, Steinbeck can be said to be sympathetic to civil rights issues.

What are the problems with racism?

Racism puts people or groups of people into certain molds, typically called stereotypes. By living in this kind of world we aren't judging people for who they are and their capabilities we're judging them on what we assume they are.

Problems that are the result of racism are unfairly judging one group's actions and punishing them more severely, unfair advantages to move ahead, unequal treatment in the work force or at schools. Almost every action in daily life is affected by racism, the biggest problem however is actually stopping to notice it and trying to change it.

Why is there racism in Australia?

Answer: In the 1970's, legislation was passed to make racial vilification illegal. This included any term that may describe somebody of a certain ethnic origin in a derisive manner. This has evolved to the point where people cannot be described, without the greatest care being taken, to avoid any reference to racial origin, racial appearance, skin colour, religion, etc.

This has now devolved to the point where any non-Anglo/Celtic descended person who is disappointed by the outcome of a job interview, etc, has only has to suggest the word "racism" and they are made instantly and overjoyously happy by a reversal of the decision.

Answer: Probably because there are many in Australia who'd rather ignore the persisting racial issues, and inevitably things grow to a point where it can no longer be ignored. Also, racists are not exclusive to any one country, so it's not surprising their ignorance and hatred would be spread throughout Australia as well as other countries of the world.

Why is racism hurtful?

Answer: Because it makes someone feel bullied and left out.

It would be like a black sheep being left out of a herd of white sheep because of its colour. It feels horrible if someone makes you feel different from others.

Answer: What's true is that in terms of race, we are and aren't different from one another. We are different because it's obvious we are different shades, and we aren't because it's also obvious we are all human beings. What's hurtful about racism is when someone makes you feel to be different than them is wrong and disgusting, and that they may never have an open mind towards their fellow human being.
