Why get an online certificate in race and ethnicity in the U.S.?
Race has long been a central marker of difference in the United States. Though its rules have changed over time, and many of the worst applications of racial and ethnic discrimination have been undone, these categories remain vital descriptors of life outcomes, wealth, education, and health in the U.S., and they reveal continuing patterns of inequality. Racial and ethnic pluralism is one of the aspects of U.S. society responsible for the diversity and vitality of its history, music, literature, language, art, dance, and foodways. An ability to navigate a multicultural, multiracial landscape is essential.
