Race and Ethnicity

There is pluralism in real life! There are areas in the United States, like Chinatown, where people of the same culture keep their bonds and traditions strong. 

Little Armenia is another example of pluralism because there is people, Armenians, who have the same culture that live together, have Armenian supermarkets and stores, and perform all the Armenian traditions together in order to keep their culture alive. 

There were major conflicts between the the Armenians and the Turks from the 1700s. However, killings, murder, rape started to get worse at around the 1800s and in 1915, there was a genocide  The Armenian genocide was planned by the Turks so they can totally wipe out, exterminate, the Armenian race.

In New Haven, Connecticut, people were very ito St. Patrick's Day. This is an example of symbolic ethnicity because the parade does not impact one's everyday life. It is a specific occasion where people come together and "identify" what the parade is about.

My beautiful pomegranate tree describes one's ethnicity. The pomegranate symbolizes Armenia and its unique culture.
