“I felt pretty good growing up. I didnt feel a lot of prejudice or racism. But I do remember, if there was going to be a movie or a television show with Asian characters, I would go out of my way to avoid them, because they portrayed all Asians as either ridiculously good or ridiculously bad; you know, the whole Charlie Chan-Fu Manchu thing.” IfsKnowsWayFeelsWholeCharacterShowsRememberFeltGrowing UpGrowingTelevisionRacismPrejudiceMy WayAsianCharlieTelevision Shows Author:David Henry Hwang

“I think back to when I was growing up in Fort Worth, Texas, in the 1950s, during the [John] McCarthy era, with two parents who founded a Unitarian Church. We lived in a little frame house, and my bedroom was just down the hall from the kitchen. My favorite memories of childhood are of the smell of coffee wafting into my bedroom as my parents and their friends talked about the big, important things - about racism and about how to move our country to live its values.” ThinkingLittlesTwoImportantCountryBigsMovingValuesHouseParentChurchMemoriesGrowing UpGrowingChildhoodRacismImportant ThingsMy FavoriteSmellCoffeeOur CountryErasKitchenHallsTexasBedroomChildhood MemoriesFortsUnitarianFavorite MemoriesUnitarian ChurchFort Worth Author:Frances Moore Lappé

“A growing body of social science research reveals that atheists, and non-religious people in general, are far from the unsavory beings many assume them to be. On basic questions of morality and human decency - issues such as governmental use of torture, the death penalty, punitive hitting of children, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, environmental degradation or human rights - the irreligious tend to be more ethical than their religious peers, particularly compared with those who describe themselves as very religious.” PeopleHumansChildrenUseBodyReligionSocialReligiousIssuesGrowingRightsMoralityRacismResearchAssumingEnvironmentalAtheistHuman RightsTortureEthicalSexismHittingPenaltiesPeersDecencyDeath PenaltyDegradationHomophobiaAnti SemitismSocial ScienceEnvironmental DegradationScience ResearchNon Religious Author:Gregory S.
