As livery trucks and coffee-toting commuters rush down the block, a group of men gathers in the basement of an old brick building. Soon, the space, a nonprofit workers' center, buzzes with brisk conversation in Spanish, English, and Mixteco, an indigenous Mexican language. Around a crowded pair of oblong tables, a community organizer starts the meeting. The men are kitchen workers from a number of restaurants. They have little in common except for their work and their potentially imminent unemployment. Months ago, they organized collectively to demand fair treatment and just compensation from their employers, but their demands have been met with threats. In the latest of a series of retaliatory actions, the employers have issued an ultimatum against the workers-if they do not abandon their organizing and legal claims, then they will be fired. In two hours' time, the earliest shift of workers will face their employers and this fate. Many of these workers are my clients in a federal wage-and-hour lawsuit. I know they are meeting this morning to discuss the situation, but I am not with them. I am in my office, considerably anxious, wondering what will happen. What will the workers decide? How angry, hurt, and worried do they feel? How will they find new jobs in this ailing economy? How will they pay rent and feed their families? I learned just last night about this retaliatory move. In response, I emailed a letter to opposing counsel stating that I interpreted their clients' actions as potentially unlawful retaliation. Beyond that, I could do little. No rhetoric of rights or legal prohibition can prevent workers from actually suffering employers' illegal acts. In contrast to my legal response, the plaintiffs in our case immediately reached out to their friends at related restaurants and requested this morning's meeting with the organizers. Unwilling to give up their fight for respect and legally mandated pay, they face their likely firings while seizing the opportunity to increase awareness among similarly affected","PeriodicalId":220741,"journal":{"name":"City University of New York Law Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130835572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sticks and Stones, The Words That Hurt: Entrenched Stereotypes Eight Years after 9/11 棍棒和石头，伤人的话:911事件八年后根深蒂固的刻板印象

{"title":"Sticks and Stones, The Words That Hurt: Entrenched Stereotypes Eight Years after 9/11","authors":"Sahar F. Aziz","doi":"10.31641/CLR130102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31641/CLR130102","url":null,"abstract":"In the realm of adults, name-calling is often a fact of life that one simply brushes off like water rolls off a duck’s back. At some point, however, racial slurs and ethnic epithets hurled at employees constitute actionable discrimination rooted in palpable and entrenched stereotypes. In the case of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks not only caused an upsurge in hatred, violence, and discrimination, but also entrenched preexisting negative stereotypes. Targeted law enforcement efforts and media images stereotyping dark-skinned, bearded males with Arabic-sounding names as representing the primary threat to the national security of the United States contribute to racial, national origin, and religious harassment in the workplace.In the years immediately following the September 11th terrorist attacks, hate crimes and other forms of discrimination against these communities were on the rise at a troubling rate. For the last months of 2001, the FBI reported a 1500% increase in hate crimes against “people of Middle Eastern descent, Muslims, and South Asian Sikhs, who are often mistaken for Muslim” from 28 in 2000 to 481 in 2001. The New York City Police Department received 117 reports of hate crimes against Arab- and Muslim-Americans in the first six months after the attacks, compared to an average of seven hate crime reports per year before 2001. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (“ADC”) reported over 700 violent incidents targeting Arab Americans, Muslims, and South Asians or those perceived as such in the first nine weeks following the September 11th terrorist attacks. ADC also documented several murders, 165 violent incidents from January 1, 2002 to October 11, 2002, over eighty cases of illegal and discriminatory removal of passengers from aircrafts based on the passenger’s perceived ethnicity, and over 800 cases of employment discrimination against Arab Americans from September 11, 2001 to October 11, 2002. Similarly, the Council on American-Islamic Relations reported 1717 complaints of discrimination by Muslims in the first six months after September 11.Notwithstanding the passage of eight years, “post-9/11 discrimination” persists, most profoundly in the workplace. While the volume of cases has seemingly decreased, negative stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs have become entrenched into popular culture and consequently more prevalent in the workplace. One need only recall the 2008 presidential elections where allegations that Barack Obama was a Muslim or Arab were in effect racial slurs and ethnic epithets. Months after Barack Obama’s inauguration, anti-Muslim sentiment continues in the form of the growing “Birther” movement challenging the validity of President Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate, and ultimately the legitimacy of his presidency, on grounds that he is a closeted Muslim born in a Muslim country. Despite the spuriousness of the allegations, the popularity of the Birther movement s","PeriodicalId":220741,"journal":{"name":"City University of New York Law Review","volume":"25 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121893490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
