Discussion III – Race and Ethnicity: the case of Miami
Demographically and politically, the Anglo/‘white” population is the dominant racial/ethnic group in the
United States. How is Miami different from the rest of the country in this regard? Do people here tend to
have different sorts of experiences regarding how they are treated due to their race or ethnicity in ways that
might not be the case in other parts of the US? Which groups, if any, do you think are dominant here in
terms of culture, power and economics in Miami? Do you think that Miami is “post-racial” in the sense that
there are so many races and ethnicities mixing together here that race and ethnicity matter much less than
in other parts of the US?
