After reading Goldstein’s article, I feel that poverty is really high among the colored people. Moreover, it is really hard for the colored people to climb up the social mobility ladder because the society would not allow such people with opportunities and benefits. In addition, the society does not favor the colored people even if they work in honest professions. It is really hard to believe that those people who work in honest professions do not receive decent wages because of their appearance such as the color of their skin and their identity. Similarly, it is very interesting to find out that whiteness plays a significant role in Third World countries such as Brazil. In my opinion, whiteness superiority in Latin America is result of the colonial rule. I think that when a society is construed on the ideas of race and identity, it is the minority that will always get suppressed and discriminated.
