GDB 4 – Class Trumps Race – Success Group 9

GROUP Discussion Board 4: Class Trumps Race

Discuss TWO concrete examples from either chapter 4 and/or chapter 5 in which class trumps race. Be sure to clearly describe these examples and elaborate on why class status was more important than race. Also, does a wealthy class status protect folks from racial/ethnic discrimination? Why or why not?

When replying to ALL your group members, compare whether you have the same examples and/or explanations. Also, be sure to expand on the intersection of class, race/ethnicity, and gender.
