Formally, racial categories appeared to be biological which contrast with the view of the current generation that impact the social status of the society. The ethical race connections that exist among people appear to be mutually exclusive. However, the situation may be overlapping without notice. This brings in the idea of invisibility of race within the community. People tend to assume the existence of race as an inferior fact yet it exists as a major problem within the community.
Smokers Get a Raw Deal by Stanley S. Scott addresses the issue of whether there is discrimination against smokers in the United States. Scott believes that there is negative discrimination in the U.S. that infringes the rights of the citizens. One can find that although the writer believes he presents a secure case, he fails to understand the definition of “discrimination.” In the article, Scott essentially asks the readers to heed the ways in which laws, especially antismoking laws, are established.

He only presents one premise, that laws facilitate the segregation between smokers and nonsmokers, and consequently allow organized crimes harassing smokers to occur.
Knowledge of ethnic differences alone does not help counselors be more effective. The knowledge must be turned in to actual tactics. If a counselor takes the over simplified information that minority groups prefer a more directive approach to counseling and puts that in to practice, they will be ultimately ineffective as a counselor because that is not what counseling is all about. Changing counseling practice to match the merely presumed needs of a group of clients should not mean abandoning good counseling work. When a counselor is too directive in attempt to fulfill the needs of the minority groups in such a way as to become more assertive and directive, they are watering down the principles of good counseling and will be ineffective because the client will not gain the ability to resolve their own

While that might be the case in many instances, freedom of speech is a more positive advantage than a negative threat and abridging it is against the First Amendment. In his essay "Regulating Racist Speech on Campus", Charles Lawrence writes "I am troubled that we have not listened to the real victims, that we have shown so little understanding of their injury, and that we have abandoned those whose, race, gender, or sexual preference countinues to make them second- class citizens." He implies that freedom of speech thretens minorities because it allows racial insults and offensive speech. However, the same took that is used against minorities can be used to fight back. Freedom of speech can be used for them to defend themselves.
Christopher Taylor December 4, 2011 Philosophy Position Paper Racial Profiling I’ve come to believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with people forming preconceived notions about their peers or even total strangers none the less. These preconceived notions and stereo types are just ways our brain categorizes and/or tries to make sense of things which is not much of a problem. However, unlike stereo types or those pre-conceived notions, problem arises when racial profiling comes into play in which accompanied by bigotry. Racial profiling is immoral because it mentally abuses its victims by making people feel or believe that they are considered untrustworthy, an outcast, or stripped of their liberty.
